net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructure
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes RSS key. Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two. This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing. netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key, even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later. A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues. Tested: myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41:36:40:74:b6:15:ca:27:44:aa:b3:4d:72 myhost:~# ethtool -x eth0 RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 8 RX ring(s): 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RSS hash key: 11:63:99:bb:79:fb:a5:a7:07:45:b2:20:bf:02:42:2d:08:1a:dd:19:2b:6b:23:ac:56:28:9d:70:c3:ac:e8:16:4b:b7:c1:10:53:a4:78:41 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
