David S. Miller b33cc2cec9 Merge branch 'net-ipv6-Add-support-for-path-selection-using-hash-of-5-tuple' 
David Ahern says:

====================
net/ipv6: Add support for path selection using hash of 5-tuple

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
bf4e0a3db9 ("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. This gives users a choice in
hash algorithms if they believe L3 only and the IPv6 flow label are not
sufficient for their use case.

A separate sysctl is added for IPv6, allowing IPv4 and IPv6 to use
different algorithms if desired.

The first 3 patches modify the IPv4 variant so that at the end of the
patch set the ipv4 and ipv6 implementations are direct parallels.

Patch 4 refactors the existing rt6_multipath_hash in preparation for
adding the policy option.

Patch 5 renames the existing netevent to have IPv4 in the name so ipv4
changes can be distinguished from IPv6 if the netevent handler cares.

Patch 6 adds the skb as an argument through the FIB lookup functions
to the multipath selection. Needed for the forwarding case.

Patch 7 adds the L4 hash support.

Patch 8 adds the hook for the netevent to the spectrum driver to update
the ASIC.

Patch 9 removes no longer used code.

Patch 10 adds a testcase for IPv6 multipath with L4 hash.

v3
- comments from Ido:
  - removed fib_info arg in patch 1; left by mistake on rebase to net-next
  - removed __get_hash_from_flowi4 declaration
  - line wrap change to spectrum_router.c to maintain 80 chars

v2
- rebased to top of tree
- added refactor of fib_multipath_hash following recent change
- plumb skb through lookup functions to multipath selection
- fix sysctl setting; was missing the data set in ipv6_sysctl_net_init
- added test case

RFC to v1:
- rebase to top of net-next
- fix addr_type in hash_keys and removed flow label as noticed by Ido
- added a comment to cover letter about choice in algorithms based on
  use case per Or's comments

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
