[PATCH 4.9 35/60] net/mlx5e: Modify TIRs hash only when its needed

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 13 2017 - 08:14:49 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gal Pressman <galp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1d3398facd08a7fd4202f269317a95668eb880b9 upstream.

We don't need to modify our TIRs unless the user requested a change in
the hash function/key, for example when changing indirection only.

Tested:
# Modify TIRs hash is needed
ethtool -X ethX hkey <new key>
ethtool -X ethX hfunc <new func>

# Modify TIRs hash is not needed
ethtool -X ethX equal <new indirection table>

All cases are verified with TCP Multi-Stream traffic over IPv4 & IPv6.

Fixes: bdfc028de1b3 ("net/mlx5e: Fix ethtool RX hash func configuration change")
