This adds the capability of configuring the queue steering of arriving packets based on their source and destination MAC addresses. Source address steering (i.e. driving traffic to a specific queue), for the i210, does not work, but filtering does (i.e. accepting traffic based on the source address). So, trying to add a filter specifying only a source address will be an error. In practical terms this adds support for the following use cases, characterized by these examples: $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa action 0 (this will direct packets with destination address "aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa" to the RX queue 0) $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether src 44:44:44:44:44:44 \ proto 0x22f0 action 3 (this will direct packets with source address "44:44:44:44:44:44" and ethertype 0x22f0 to the RX queue 3) Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@intel.com> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
