RE: [E1000-devel] [Intel-wired-lan] i40e X722 RSS problem with NAT-Traversal IPsec packets

[Fujinaka, Todd]

Just a quick update with the response I got and I'll make sure this is in our internal bug database.

Here's what I got back, and it looks like you guys have tried this already:

Have they tried these steps to configure RSS:

RSS Hash Flow
-------------

Allows you to set the hash bytes per flow type and any combination of one or
more options for Receive Side Scaling (RSS) hash byte configuration.

#ethtool -N <dev> rx-flow-hash <type> <option>

Where <type> is:
  tcp4  signifying TCP over IPv4
  udp4  signifying UDP over IPv4
  tcp6  signifying TCP over IPv6
  udp6  signifying UDP over IPv6
And <option> is one or more of:
  s Hash on the IP source address of the rx packet.
  d Hash on the IP destination address of the rx packet.
  f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.
  n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.

Also, looks like the driver needs to be updated to latest version:
>>> 1.1767.0 i40e 0000:3d:00.0: The driver for the device detected a
>>> newer version of the NVM image than expected. Please install the
>>> most recent version of the network driver.

For some reason this isn't showing up in my work email. We had an internal conference this week and I think people are away. I'll see if I can chase some people down if they're still here and not on the way home.
