Other than that, no problem with this change (no ABI impact, no need for
deprecation). Please update testpmd a part of the same patch:
- Wherever "toeplitz" is mentioned in test-pmd/cmdline.c.
- Ditto for flow command, i.e. add ACTION_RSS_FUNC_SYMMETRIC_TOEPLITZ to
test-pmd/cmdline_flow.c.
- Update "set_hash_global_config" documentation section in
testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst.
Note to Shahaf/Yongseok, since mlx5 supports both but defaults to symmetric
Toeplitz on vanilla Linux and standard Toeplitz when using OFED, how about
using this chance to make the algorithm configurable as well?
Thanks.
