I have to take back my previous reply [3] regarding the original series. After testing it I confirm mlx4 is broken with testpmd as well. The fact mlx4 doesn't implement the legacy RSS API means it won't ever satisfy the global rss_hf settings and rte_eth_dev_configure() will always fail. As an immediate fix, Qi's patch above should deal with this problem. Now what's needed in testpmd is the ability to distinguish a *configured* rss_hf value (--rss-ip, --rss-udp command-line parameters or interactively through "port config all rss $anything_other_than_default") from a default one (no command-line parameters or "port config all rss default"). I think a second global is needed: int rss_hf_enable = 0; /* Take rss_hf into account. */ If unset, rss_hf is never taken into account and PMDs are fed their default settings (whatever they report as supported), otherwise rss_hf is enforced as requested by user configuration. > > [1] 75d5493eb302 ("app/testpmd: fix RSS flow action configuration") > > > > [2] 8c1f4aff92a6 ("app/testpmd: new parameter for port config all RSS > > command") > > > >> } else { > >> port->dev_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_key = NULL; > >> port->dev_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_hf = 0; > >> > > > [3] http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-April/097904.html -- Adrien Mazarguil 6WIND
