Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in higher CPU cache efficiency. Only fields that has counterparts in the other direction can be accepted; IP src/dst and L4 src/dst ports. The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific flow type, via: # ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n symmetric or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by: # ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n Reviewed-by: Wojciech Drewek <wojciech.drewek@...el.com> Signed-off-by: Ahmed Zaki <ahmed.zaki@...el.com> --- Documentation/networking/scaling.rst | 6 ++++++ include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h | 1 + net/ethtool/ioctl.c | 11 +++++++++++ 3 files changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/networking/scaling.rst b/Documentation/networking/scaling.rst index 92c9fb46d6a2..64f3d7566407 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/scaling.rst +++ b/Documentation/networking/scaling.rst @@ -44,6 +44,12 @@ by masking out the low order seven bits of the computed hash for the packet (usually a Toeplitz hash), taking this number as a key into the indirection table and reading the corresponding value. +Some NICs support symmetric RSS hashing where, if the IP (source address, +destination address) and TCP/UDP (source port, destination port) tuples +are swapped, the computed hash is the same.
