Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 11:36:17 +0100 From: Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@...rix.com> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, <xen-devel@...ts.xenproject.org> CC: Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@...rix.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/8] xen-netback/core: packet hashing This series adds xen-netback support for hash negotiation with a frontend driver, and an implementation of toeplitz hashing as the initial negotiable algorithm. Patch #1 re-imports the canonical netif header from Xen, which contains the necessary definitions and a type required by subsequent patches. (Note that this patch is not completely style-clean since the header includes typedefs). Patch #2 is some cleanup in xen-netback. Patch #3 adds code to allow multiple extra_info segments to be passed from a frontend to xen-netback. Patch #4 adds code to allow xen-netback to accept new hash extra_info segments from a frontend and set the skb hash information appropriately. Patch #5 makes a change to struct sk_buff: one extra bit is used to allow full hash type information to be stored, rather than just the l4_hash boolean value. Patch #6 adds code to xen-netback to pass L3 or L4 skb hash values to capable frontends. Patch #7 adds code to xen-netback to provide a configurable (by the frontend) mapping from hash values to queue numbers. Patch #8 adds code to xen-netback to provide toeplitz hashing of skbs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
