From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Ahern Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 0/7] net/ipv6: Add support for path selection using hash of 5-tuple Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2018 16:05:55 -0800 Message-ID: <20180213000602.12150-1-dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: roopa@cumulusnetworks.com, nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com, idosch@mellanox.com, David Ahern To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mail-it0-f68.google.com ([209.85.214.68]:39104 "EHLO mail-it0-f68.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932735AbeBMAGJ (ORCPT ); Mon, 12 Feb 2018 19:06:09 -0500 Received: by mail-it0-f68.google.com with SMTP id c80so8736499itb.4 for ; Mon, 12 Feb 2018 16:06:09 -0800 (PST) Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hardware supports multipath selection using the standard L4 5-tuple instead of just L3 and the flow label. In addition, some network operators prefer IPv6 path selection to use the 5-tuple. To that end, add support to IPv6 for multipath hash policy similar to bf4e0a3db97eb ("net: ipv4: add support for ECMP hash policy choice"). The default is still L3 which covers source and destination addresses along with flow label and IPv6 protocol. A separate sysctl is added for IPv6, allowing IPv4 and IPv6 to use different algorithms if desired. The first 2 patches modify the IPv4 variant so that at the end of the patch set the ipv4 and ipv6 implementations are direct parallels. Patch 3 refactors the existing rt6_multipath_hash in preparation for adding the policy option. Patch 4 renames the existing netevent to have IPv4 in the name so ipv4 changes can be distinguished from IPv6 if the netevent handler cares. Patch 5 adds the L4 hash support. Patch 6 adds the hook for the netevent to the spectrum driver to update the ASIC. Patch 7 removes no longer used code.
