[PATCH net-next v2 0/3] ip: improve tcp sock multipath routing

[Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>]

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

Improve layer 4 multipath hash policy for local tcp connections:

patch 1: Select a source address that matches the nexthop device.
         Due to tcp_v4_connect making separate route lookups for saddr
         and route, the two can currently be inconsistent.

patch 2: Use all paths when opening multiple local tcp connections to
         the same ip address and port.

patch 3: Test the behavior. Extend the fib_tests.sh testsuite with one
         opening many connections, and count SYNs on both egress
         devices, for packets matching the source address of the dev.

Changelog in the individual patches

Willem de Bruijn (3):
  ipv4: prefer multipath nexthop that matches source address
  ip: load balance tcp connections to single dst addr and port
  selftests/net: test tcp connection load balancing
