[PATCH net-next 2/5] net: Extend struct flowi6 with multipath hash

From: Jakub Sitnicki
Date: Mon Oct 24 2016 - 05:29:47 EST


Allow for functions that fill out the IPv6 flow info to also pass a hash
computed over the skb contents. The hash value will drive the multipath
routing decisions.

This is intended for special treatment of ICMPv6 errors, where we would
like to make a routing decision based on the flow identifying the
offending IPv6 datagram that triggered the error, rather than the flow
of the ICMP error itself.
