net: openvswitch: add support for l4 symmetric hashing
Since its introduction, the ovs module execute_hash action allowed hash algorithms other than the skb->l4_hash to be used. However, additional hash algorithms were not implemented. This means flows requiring different hash distributions weren't able to use the kernel datapath. Now, introduce support for symmetric hashing algorithm as an alternative hash supported by the ovs module using the flow dissector. Output of flow using l4_sym hash: recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), ipv4(dst=64.0.0.0/192.0.0.0,proto=6,frag=no), packets:30473425, bytes:45902883702, used:0.000s, flags:SP., actions:hash(sym_l4(0)),recirc(0xd) Some performance testing with no GRO/GSO, two veths, single flow: hash(l4(0)): 4.35 GBits/s hash(l4_sym(0)): 4.24 GBits/s Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
