[PATCH v4 net-next 09/11] net: Add IPv6 flow label to flow_keys

From: Tom Herbert <hidden>
Date: 2015-05-28 18:19:36
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In flow_dissector set the flow label in flow_keys for IPv6. This also
removes the shortcircuiting of flow dissection when a non-zero label
is present, the flow label can be considered to provide additional
entropy for a hash.
