[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] add support for RSS level

[Ajit Khaparde <ajit.khaparde@broadcom.com>]

Some of NICs can allow a DPDK application to select the RSS level
to perform RSS hash on an incoming encapsulated packets. But it is
not possible to set this currently because rte_eth_rss_conf does
not have any field to indicate the RSS level while specifying RSS
configuration parameters.

This patchset extends rte_eth_rss_conf by adding rss_level.
An application can specify the RSS level based on the packet
encapsulation level and apply the setting to the specified device.

- rss_level of 0 requests the default behavior.
- rss_level of 1 requests RSS to be performed on the outermost packet
encapsulation level.
- rss_level of 2 and subsequent values request RSS to be performed
on the specified inner packet encapsulation level, from outermost to
innermost.

Patch 1/3 extends rte_ethdev.h to add this support.
Patch 2/3 has modifications to testpmd to use this feature.
Patch 3/3 has bnxt modifications to configure rss_level based on the
settings passed by the application.


Please review.
