When function igc_rx_hash() was introduced in v4.20 via commit 0507ef8a03
("igc: Add transmit and receive fastpath and interrupt handlers"), the
hardware wasn't configured to provide RSS hash, thus it made sense to not
enable net_device NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.
The NIC hardware was configured to enable RSS hash info in v5.2 via commit
2121c2712f ("igc: Add multiple receive queues control supporting"), but
forgot to set the NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.
The original implementation of igc_rx_hash() didn't extract the associated
pkt_hash_type, but statically set PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3. The largest portions of
this patch are about extracting the RSS Type from the hardware and mapping
this to enum pkt_hash_types. This was based on Foxville i225 software user
manual rev-1.3.1 and tested on Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM (rev 03).
For UDP it's worth noting that RSS (type) hashing have been disabled both for
IPv4 and IPv6 (see IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV4_UDP + IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV6_UDP)
because hardware RSS doesn't handle fragmented pkts well when enabled (can
cause out-of-order). This results in PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3 for UDP packets, and
hash value doesn't include UDP port numbers. Not being PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4, have
the effect that netstack will do a software based hash calc calling into
flow_dissect, but only when code calls skb_get_hash(), which doesn't
necessary happen for local delivery.
For QA verification testing I wrote a small bpftrace prog:
