[PATCH net-next 0/6] net: Increase inputs to flow_keys hashing
From: Tom Herbert <hidden>

This patch set adds new fields to the flow_keys structure and hashes over these fields to get a better flow hash. In particular, these patches now include hashing over the full IPv6 addresses in order to defend against address spoofing that always results in the same hash. The new input also includes the Ethertype, L4 protocol, VLAN, flow label, GRE keyid, and MPLS entropy label. In order to increase hash inputs, we switch to using jhash2 which operates an an array of u32's. jhash2 operates on multiples of three words. The data in the hash is constructed for that, and there are are two variants for IPv4 and Ipv6 addressing. For IPv4 addresses, jhash is performed over six u32's and for IPv6 it is done over twelve. flow_keys can store either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses (addr_proto field is a selector). ipv6_addr_hash is no longer used to convert addresses for setting in flow table. For legacy uses of flow keys outside of flow_dissector the flow_get_u32_src and flow_get_u32_dst functions have been added to get u32 representation representations of addresses in flow_keys. For flow labels we also eliminate the short circuit in flow_dissector for non-zero flow label. The flow label is now considered additional input to ports. Testing: Ran netperf TCP_RR for 200 flows using IPv4 and IPv6 comparing before the patches and with the patches. Did not detect any performance degradation.
