There commands can be used to add an RSS context and steer some traffic
into it:
# ethtool -X eth0 context new
New RSS context is 1
# ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 1.1.1.1 context 1
Added rule with ID 1023
However, the second command fails with EINVAL on mlx5e:
# ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 1.1.1.1 context 1
rmgr: Cannot insert RX class rule: Invalid argument
Cannot insert classification rule
It happens when flow_get_tirn calls flow_type_to_traffic_type with
flow_type = IP_USER_FLOW or IPV6_USER_FLOW. That function only handles
IPV4_FLOW and IPV6_FLOW cases, but unlike all other cases which are
common for hash and spec, IPv4 and IPv6 defines different contants for
hash and for spec:
#define TCP_V4_FLOW 0x01 /* hash or spec (tcp_ip4_spec) */
#define UDP_V4_FLOW 0x02 /* hash or spec (udp_ip4_spec) */
...
#define IPV4_USER_FLOW 0x0d /* spec only (usr_ip4_spec) */
#define IP_USER_FLOW IPV4_USER_FLOW
#define IPV6_USER_FLOW 0x0e /* spec only (usr_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
#define IPV4_FLOW 0x10 /* hash only */
#define IPV6_FLOW 0x11 /* hash only */
Extend the switch in flow_type_to_traffic_type to support both, which
fixes the failing ethtool -N command with flow-type ip4 or ip6.
