Enable accelerated Receive Flow Steering (aRFS). It is used to steer Rx
flows to a specific queue. This functionality is triggered by the network
stack through ndo_rx_flow_steer and requires Flow Director (ntuple on) to
function.
The fltr_info is used to add/remove/update flow rules in the HW, the
fltr_state is used to determine what to do with the filter with respect
to HW and/or SW, and the flow_id is used in co-ordination with the
network stack.
The work for aRFS is split into two paths: the ndo_rx_flow_steer
operation and the ice_service_task. The former is where the kernel hands
us an Rx SKB among other items to setup aRFS and the latter is where
the driver adds/updates/removes filter rules from HW and updates filter
state.
In the Rx path the following things can happen:
1. New aRFS entries are added to the hash table and the state is
set to ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE so the filter can be updated in HW
by the ice_service_task path.
2. aRFS entries have their Rx Queue updated if we receive a
pre-existing flow_id and the filter state is ICE_ARFS_ACTIVE.
The state is set to ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE so the filter can be
updated in HW by the ice_service_task path.
3. aRFS entries marked as ICE_ARFS_TODEL are deleted
In the ice_service_task path the following things can happen:
1. New aRFS entries marked as ICE_ARFS_INACTIVE are added or
updated in HW.
and their state is updated to ICE_ARFS_ACTIVE.
2. aRFS entries are deleted from HW and their state is updated
to ICE_ARFS_TODEL.
