[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: save computed hash in __skb_get_hash_symmetric_net()
From: Jon Kohler
Date: Tue Nov 25 2025 - 12:38:39 EST
tun.c changed from skb_get_hash() to __skb_get_hash_symmetric() on
commit feec084a7cf4 ("tun: use symmetric hash"), which exposes an
overhead for OVS datapath, where ovs_dp_process_packet() has to
calculate the hash again because __skb_get_hash_symmetric() does not
retain the hash that it calculates.
Save the computed hash in __skb_get_hash_symmetric_net() so that the
calcuation work does not go to waste.
Fixes: feec084a7cf4 ("tun: use symmetric hash")
