    hv_netvsc: Add ethtool handler to set and get UDP hash levels · 4823eb2f
    Haiyang Zhang 提交于
    The patch add the functions to switch UDP hash level between
    L3 and L4 by ethtool command. UDP over IPv4 and v6 can be set
    differently. The default hash level is L4. We currently only
    allow switching TX hash level from within the guests.
    
    On Azure, fragmented UDP packets have high loss rate with L4
    hashing. Using L3 hashing is recommended in this case.
    
    For example, for UDP over IPv4 on eth0:
    To include UDP port numbers in hasing:
    	ethtool -N eth0 rx-flow-hash udp4 sdfn
    To exclude UDP port numbers in hasing:
    	ethtool -N eth0 rx-flow-hash udp4 sd
    To show UDP hash level:
    	ethtool -n eth0 rx-flow-hash udp4
