            Bug ID: 1115
           Summary: i40e: RSS hash conf update fails when hash proto mask
                    in rx_adv_conf is 0
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: ivan.ma...@oktetlabs.ru
  Target Milestone: ---

Opensource ethdev tests [1] have been improved over the past weeks.
With the latest update, test "usecases/update_rss_hash_conf" finds
yet another bug in i40e PMD. If the user has not passed a non-zero
hash protocol mask via "rx_adv_conf" during device configure stage,
any attempts to use rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_update() at a later stage
will fail regardless of hash protocol mask and key being requested.

When the test sees that, it tries to re-configure the ethdev, this
time with the "rx_adv_conf" hash protocol mask being non-zero. The
following invocations of rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_update() do not fail.

In this particular case, the "non-zero" mask being used is in fact
taken from the "flow_type_rss_offloads" field specified by the PMD.


Further research indicates that the PMD considers RSS unconfigured
in the case of zero "rx_adv_conf" hash protocol mask, which is not
correct. Whether the user wants to enable RSS or not is determined
solely by testing RTE_ETH_MQ_RX_RSS_FLAG in "rxmode.mq_mode" field.
If this flag is set, rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_update() should not fail
unless the application tries a wittingly unsupported configuration.
