[PATCH net-next 12/18] net: mvpp2: improve the distribution of packets on CPUs when using RSS

From: Maxime Chevallier
Date: Thu Jul 12 2018 - 07:55:39 EST


From: Antoine Tenart <antoine.tenart@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds an extra indirection when setting the indirection table
into the RSS hardware table to improve the packets distribution across
CPUs. For example, if 2 queues are used on a multi-core system this new
indirection will choose two queues on two different CPUs instead of the
two first queues which are on the same first CPU.
