From: Eyal Perry <redacted> This ethtool patch adds support to set and get the current RSS hash function for the device through through the new hfunc field in the ethtool_rxfh struct. Kernel supported hash function names are queried with ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS (value 0 is reserved and skipped). Although currently no device supports a combination of hash functions/attributes, this ethtool implementation will support it. Both in the set and in the get. The device driver declares the functions and/or attributes that it supports, and ethtool will show it correctly and enable the user to set those combinations. If a combination is not supported - the device driver will fail the operation and ethtool will print an error message.

Didn't we agree that only one hash function should be selected at once? Can you send a new version that implements that? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Reality is just a crutch for people who can't handle science fiction.
