What is included: - Infrastructure to save a precomputed hash in the sock structure. For connected TCP and UDP sockets we only need to compute the flow hash once and not once for every packet. - Call skb_get_hash in get_xps_queue and __skb_tx_hash. This eliminates the awkward access to skb->sk->sk_hash in the lower transmit path. - Move UDP source port generation into a common function in udp.h This implementation is mostly based on vxlan_src_port. - Use non-zero IPv6 flow labels in flow_dissector as port information for flow hash calculation. - Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit (per RFC 6438). - Don't repeatedly try to compute an L4 hash in skb_get_hash if we've already tried to find one in software stack calculation. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
