====================
Support symmetric-xor RSS hash
Patches 1 and 2 modify the get/set_rxh ethtool API to take a pointer to
struct of parameters instead of individual params. This will allow future
changes to the uAPI-shared struct ethtool_rxfh without changing the
drivers' API.
Patch 3 adds the support at the Kernel level, allowing the user to set a
symmetric-xor RSS hash for a netdevice via:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc toeplitz symmetric-xor
and clears the flag via:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc toeplitz
The "symmetric-xor" is set in a new "input_xfrm" field in struct
ethtool_rxfh. Support for the new "symmetric-xor" flag will be later sent
to the "ethtool" user-space tool.
Patch 4 fixes a long standing bug with the ice hash function register
values. The bug has been benign for now since only (asymmetric) Toeplitz
hash (Zero) has been used.
Patches 5 and 6 lay some groundwork refactoring. While the first is
mainly cosmetic, the second is needed since there is no more room in the
previous 64-bit RSS profile ID for the symmetric attribute introduced in
the next patch.
Finally, patches 7 and 8 add the symmetric-xor support for the ice
(E800 PFs) and the iAVF drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
