net/mlx4_en: fix ethtool -x
mlx4 RSS is limited to spread incoming packets to a power of two number
of queues.
An uniformly distibuted traffic would be split on queues 0 to N-1, N
being a power of two, each queue having a 1/N weight.
If number of RX queues is not a power of two, upper RX queues do not
receive traffic.
ethtool -x is lying, because it pretends some queues have higher weight.
Before patch:
lpaa24:~# ethtool -L eth1 rx 24
lpaa24:~# ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 24 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
RSS hash key:
e0:7c:3a:89:07:55:b6:58:69:cc:f4:e5:24:62:e3:25:88:6c:42:5b:d2:cb:9a:d2:e0:06:e1:dc:f9:09:a1:89:0f:a0:30:43:73:6f:0c:b6
If this information was correct, user space tools could expect queues 0
to 7 to receive twice more traffic than queues 8 to 15
After patch :
lpaa24:~# ethtool -L eth1 rx 24
lpaa24:~# ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 24 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
