This patch enables rss (receive side scaling) per network interface through the configuration file. The user can specify following parameters in LINK section for enabling the rss feature - rss_qs, rss_proto_ipv4, rss_proto_ipv6 and ip_proto_l2. The "rss_qs" is mandatory parameter which indicates the queues to be used for rss, while rest of the parameters are optional. When optional parameters are not provided in the configuration file, default setting (ETH_RSS_IPV4 | ETH_RSS_IPV6) is assumed for "rss_hf" field of the rss_conf structure. For example, following configuration can be applied for using the rss on port 0 of the network interface; [PIPELINE0] type = MASTER core = 0 [LINK0] rss_qs = 0 1 [PIPELINE1] type = PASS-THROUGH core = 1 pktq_in = RXQ0.0 RXQ0.1 RXQ1.0 pktq_out = TXQ0.0 TXQ1.0 TXQ0.1 Signed-off-by: Jasvinder Singh <jasvinder.singh@intel.com> Acked-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com>
