This patch extends the iavf driver to support Receive Side Scaling (RSS) configuration for GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) flows using ethtool. The implementation introduces new RSS flow segment headers and hash field definitions for various GTP encapsulations, including: - GTPC - GTPU (IP, Extension Header, Uplink, Downlink) - TEID-based hashing The ethtool interface is updated to parse and apply these new flow types and hash fields, enabling fine-grained traffic distribution for GTP-based mobile workloads. This enhancement improves performance and scalability for virtualized network functions (VNFs) and user plane functions (UPFs) in 5G and LTE deployments.
