…inux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: mlx5-updates-2021-10-18 Maor Maor Gottlieb says: ======================== Use hash to select the affinity port in VF LAG Current VF LAG architecture is based on QP association with a port. QP must be created after LAG is enabled to allow association with non-native port. VM Packets going on slow-path to eSwicth manager (SW path or hairpin) will be transmitted through a different QP than the VM. This means that Different packets of the same flow might egress from different physical ports. This patch-set solves this issue by moving the port selection to be based on the hash function defined by the bond. When the device is moved to VF LAG mode, the driver creates TTC (traffic type classifier) flow tables in order to classify the packet and steer it to the relevant hash function. Similar to what is done in the mlx5 RSS implementation. Each rule in the TTC table, forwards the packet to port selection flow table which has one hash split flow group which contains two "catch all" flow table entries. Each entry point to the relative uplink port. As shown below: ------------------- | FT | TTC rule -> | ----------- | | FG| FTE --|-|-----> uplink of port #1 | | FTE --|-|-----> uplink of port #2 | ----------- | ------------------- Hash split flow group is flow group that created as type of HASH_SPLIT and associated with match definer. The match definer define the fields which included in the hash calculation. The driver creates the match definer according to the xmit hash policy of the bond driver. Patches overview: ======================== Minor E-Switch updates: - Patch #12, dynamic allocation of dest array - Patch #13, increase number of forward destinations to 32 Signed-off-by: David S.
