Before C0 HW revision, The RSS adder was computed based the following static formula. rss_adder<7:0> = flow_tag<7:0> ^ flow_tag<15:8> ^ flow_tag<23:16> ^ flow_tag<31:24> The above scheme has the following drawbacks: 1) It is not in line with other standard NIC behavior. 2) There can be an SW use case where SW can compute the hash upfront using Toeplitz function and predict the queue selection to optimize some packet lookup function. The nonstandard way of doing XOR makes the consumer to not predict the queue selection. C0 HW revision onwards, The HW can configure the rss_adder<7:0> as flow_tag<7:0> to align with standard NICs. This patch adds an option to select legacy RSS adder mode vs standard NIC behavior by setting NIX_LF_RSS_TAG_LSB_AS_ADDER flag. Since this bit field is used as reserved in old HW revisions, No need to have an additional HW version check.

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.
