[PATCH 3.19 009/177] net/mlx4_en: Prevent setting invalid RSS hash function

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat May 02 2015 - 15:26:29 EST


3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Vadai <amirv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b37069090b7c5615610a8aa6b36533d67b364d38 ]

mlx4_en_check_rxfh_func() was checking for hardware support before
setting a known RSS hash function, but didn't do any check before
setting unknown RSS hash function. Need to make it fail on such values.
In this occasion, moved the actual setting of the new value from the
check function into mlx4_en_set_rxfh().

Fixes: 947cbb0 ("net/mlx4_en: Support for configurable RSS hash function")
