Public bug reported: This is a backport request from Netronome for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
This patchset corrects the following behaviour: 1. Add TC filter to hardware while hw-tc-offload is on 2. Switch hw-tc-offload to off using ethtool 3. Filters added to hardware in step 1 are still active but can no longer be removed. The upstream solution to this problem is to prohibit switching hw-tc- offload to off when filters are present in hardware. The upstream commits, accepted for v4.16, are: d692403e5cf8 (“nfp: forbid disabling hw-tc-offload on representors while offload active”) 0b9de4ca853b (“nfp: don't advertise hw-tc-offload on non-port netdevs”) e3ac6c0737e2 (“nfp: bpf: require ETH table”) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752828 Title: nfp: fix disabling on hw-tc-offload in flower To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1752828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
