For ntuple filters added by aRFS, the Toeplitz hash calculated by our NIC is available and is used to store the ntuple filter for quick retrieval. In the next patches, user defined ntuple filter support will be added and we need to calculate the same hash for these filters. The same hash function needs to be used so we can detect duplicates. Add the function bnxt_toeplitz() to calculate the Toeplitz hash for user defined ntuple filters. bnxt_toeplitz() uses the same Toeplitz key and the same key length as the NIC. bnxt_get_ntp_filter_idx() is added to return the hash index. For aRFS, the hash comes from the NIC. For user defined ntuple, we call bnxt_toeplitz() to calculate the hash index.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
