From: Dahir Osman <dahir.os...@windriver.com>
In some environments it is desirable to have the NIC perform RSS
normally on the packet regardless of the number of queues configured.
The RSS hash result that is stored in the mbuf can then be used by
the application to make decisions about how to distribute workloads
to threads, secondary processes, or even virtual machines if the
application is a virtual switch. This change to the mlx5 driver
aligns with how other drivers in the Intel family work.
