[PATCH bpf RFC-V2 0/5] XDP-hints: API change for RX-hash kfunc bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer
Date: Wed Mar 29 2023 - 12:30:02 EST


Notice targeted 6.3-rc kernel via bpf git tree.

Current API for bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() returns the raw RSS hash value,
but doesn't provide information on the RSS hash type (part of 6.3-rc).

This patchset proposal is to use the return value from
bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() to provide the RSS hash type.

Alternatively we disable bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() in 6.3-rc, and have
more time to nitpick the RSS hash-type bits.
