Post #1 of 7 (105 views)

Commit b3973bb40041 ("vmxnet3: set correct hash type based on
rss information") added hashType information into skb. However,
rssType field is populated for eop descriptor.

This patch moves the RSS codeblock under eop descritor.

Does it mean it always fails, often fails or occasionally fails
to provide the right hash?

Please add a Fixes tag so that the patch is automatically pulled
into the stable releases.

Fixes: is not the way to do this, you need a cc: stable in the
signed-off-by area please as the documentation has stated for 16+ years :)

thanks,

Ah, I have been caught! :]
I may have started telling people "to put the Fixes tag on for stable"
because it seems most succinct and understandable.
I'll go back to saying "for the benefit of the backporters", or some
such, sorry..

This will cause issues mostly for cases which require multiple rx descriptors.
For single rx descriptor packet, eop and sop will be same, so no issue.

Could you add to the commit message when user will most likely
encounter that situation? With high MTUs? Depending on the
underlying HW/NIC?
