Subject: net: Fix skb_tx_hash() for forwarding workloads.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec581f6a42bbbea5271c66da9769a41b46c74e10;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

net: Fix skb_tx_hash() for forwarding workloads.

When skb_rx_queue_recorded() is true, we dont want to use jash distribution
as the device driver exactly told us which queue was selected at RX time.
jhash makes a statistical shuffle, but this wont work with 8 static inputs.

Later improvements would be to compute reciprocal value of real_num_tx_queues
to avoid a divide here. But this computation should be done once,
when real_num_tx_queues is set. This needs a separate patch, and a new
field in struct net_device.
