From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Stephen Hemminger Subject: [RFC] vxlan: use ether header as fallback hash Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 21:39:06 -0700 Message-ID: <20121003213906.09b57539@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net> References: <20121001223232.566037595@vyatta.com> <20121001223254.349753999@vyatta.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Jesse Gross , davem@davemloft.net, netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mail.vyatta.com ([76.74.103.46]:41972 "EHLO mail.vyatta.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751406Ab2JDEjn (ORCPT ); Thu, 4 Oct 2012 00:39:43 -0400 In-Reply-To: Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: VXLAN bases source UDP port based on flow to help the receiver to be able to load balance based on outer header contents. This patches changes the algorithm to better handle packets that can not be categorized by the rxhash() function. It adds a fallback to use jhash on the Ether header. It also fixes a bug where the old code could assign 0 as a port value.
