[PATCH] net: small bug on rxhash calculation

From: Chema Gonzalez <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-07 23:40:58
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In the current rxhash calculation function, while the
sorting of the ports/addrs is coherent (you get the
same rxhash for packets sharing the same 4-tuple, in
both directions), ports and addrs are sorted
independently. This implies packets from a connection
between the same addresses but crossed ports hash to
the same rxhash.

For example, traffic between A=S:l and B=L:s is hashed
(in both directions) from {L, S, {s, l}}. The same
rxhash is obtained for packets between C=S:s and D=L:l.

This patch ensures that you either swap both addrs and ports,
or you swap none. Traffic between A and B, and traffic
between C and D, get their rxhash from different sources
({L, S, {l, s}} for A<->B, and {L, S, {s, l}} for C<->D)

The patch is co-written with Eric Dumazet [off-list ref]
