We use a two-step process to configure a filter with RSS spreading. First, the RSS context is allocated and configured using ETHTOOL_SRSSH; this returns an identifier (rss_context) which can then be passed to subsequent invocations of ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS to specify that the offset from the RSS indirection table lookup should be added to the queue number (ring_cookie) when delivering the packet. Drivers for devices which can only use the indirection table entry directly (not add it to a base queue number) should reject rule insertions combining RSS with a nonzero ring_cookie.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
