As of today, the classification code is used only for RSS. We split the incoming traffic into multiple flows, that correspond to the ethtool flow_type parameter. We don't want to use the ethtool flow definitions such as TCP_V4_FLOW, for several reason : - We want to decorrelate the driver code from ethtool as much as possible, so that we can easily use other interfaces such as tc flower, - We want the flow_type to be a bitfield, so that we can match flows embedded into each other, such as TCP4 which is a subset of IP4. This commit does the conversion to the newer type. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
