> Subject: [PATCH v8 0/4] Support configuring hash functions
> 
> These patches mainly support configuring hash functions. In detail,
>  - It can get/set global hash configurations.
>   * Get/set symmetric hash enable per flow type.
>   * Get/set hash function type.
>  - It can get/set symmetric hash enable per port.
>  - Four commands have been implemented in testpmd to support testing above.
>    * get_sym_hash_ena_per_port
>    * set_sym_hash_ena_per_port
>    * get_hash_global_config
>    * set_hash_global_config
> 
> It also uses constant hash keys to replace runtime generating hash keys.
> Global initialization is added to correctly put registers to an initial state.
> 
> v3 changes:
> * Removed renamings in rte_ethdev.h.
> * Redesigned filter control API and its relevant structures/enums.
> * Renamed header file from rte_eth_features.h to rte_eth_ctrol.h.
> * Remove public header file of rte_i40e.h specific for i40e.
> * Added hardware initialization function during port init.
> * Used constant random hash keys in i40e PF.
> * renamed the commands in testpmd based on the redesigned filter control API.
> 
> v4 changes:
> * Fixed a bug in testpmd to support 'set_sym_hash_ena_per_port'.
> 
> v5 changes:
> * Integrated with filter API defined recently.
> * Remove all for filter API definition, as it has already defined and merged
>   recently.
> 
> v6 changes:
> * Flow type strings are used to replace Packet Classification Types, to isolate
>   hardware specific things.
> * Implemented the mapping function to convert RSS offload types to Packet
>   Classification Types, to isolate the real hardware specific things.
> * Removed initialization of global registers in i40e PMD, as global registers
>   shouldn't be initialized per port.
> * Added more annotations to get code more understandable.
> * Corrected annotation format for documenation.
> 
> v7 changes:
> * Removed swap configurations, as it is not allowed by hardware design.
> * Put symmetric hash per flow type and hash function type into
>   'RTE_ETH_HASH_FILTER_GLOBAL_CONFIG', as they are controlling global registers
>   which will affects all the ports of the same NIC.
> 
> v8 changes:
> * Removed redundant checks in i40e_ethdev.c.
> * Solved compile errors on ICC.
> 
> Helin Zhang (4):
>   ethdev: code style fixes
>   i40e: use constant as the default hash keys
>   i40e: support of controlling hash functions
>   app/testpmd: add commands to support hash functions
