[PATCH net] flow_dissector: fix byteorder of dissected ICMP ID

From: Alexander Lobakin <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-12 20:10:04

flow_dissector_key_icmp::id is of type u16 (CPU byteorder),
ICMP header has its ID field in network byteorder obviously.
Sparse says:

net/core/flow_dissector.c:178:43: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer

Convert ID value to CPU byteorder when storing it into
flow_dissector_key_icmp.

Fixes: 5dec597e5cd0 ("flow_dissector: extract more ICMP information")

Smells like a breaking change for existing consumers of this value.

How about we change the type of flow_dissector_key_icmp{}.id to __be16
instead to make sparse happy?

The struct flow_dissector_key_icmp::id only appears to be used in
bond_xmit_hash, and there, the exact value doesn't seem to matter.

This appears to be a real bug and not just to appease sparse:
ih->un.echo.id has one endianness and "1" has another. Both cannot
be correct.

Agreed, so I will apply this, thanks.
