I would argue the issue here isn't in ixgbe_store_key. The problem
appears to be in ixgbe_set_rxfh and ixgbe_get_rxfh. It seems the key
provided should be populated as if it were a __be32 array, not a u32
array. So doing a memcpy from the u8 to u32 isn't correct in this
case. Really what should probably be happening is the population of
rss_key should be done using a for loop with be32_to_cpu calls, and
when we display it we should be using cpu_to_be32 to translate it
back.
An alternative would be to convert the rss_key pointer in the adapter
struct to be a be32 array pointer in the first place, and then change
the key population code to use be32_to_cpup in order to do the correct
byte swapping before writing the the value to the register.
Also as pointed out by Jeff please submit this to the intel-wired-lan
mailing list next time.
Thanks.
