Hi, all.
The RTE_ETH_FLOW_XXX macros, are used to display supported flow types
for PMD
based on the rte_eth_dev_info.flow_type_rss_offloads in the
port_infos_display() of
testpmd.
And PMD assigns RSS offload capability bit, like RTE_ETH_RSS_XXX, to
this field.
The usage of RTE_ETH_RSS_XXX macros are described as follows in:
/*
* Below macros are defined for RSS offload types, they can be used to
* fill rte_eth_rss_conf.rss_hf or rte_flow_action_rss.types.
*/
#define RTE_ETH_RSS_IPV4 RTE_BIT64(2)
But RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX is 24, and the number of RTE_ETH_FLOW_XXX micro far
less than
the number of RTE_ETH_RSS_XXX. If PMD sets RSS offload capability bit
out range of
RTE_ETH_FLOW_XXX, like RTE_ETH_RSS_L3_SRC_ONLY, to this field, testpmd
will display
"user defined 63" when run 'show port info 0'. This is a problem that I
have now.
On the other hand, rx_adv_conf.rte_eth_rss_conf.rss_hf from App must be
within the
rte_eth_dev_info.flow_type_rss_offloads in dev_configure.
To sum up, I'm a little confused right now.
How should PMD populate the field "flow_type_rss_offloads" in struct
rte_eth_dev_info?
