    ipv6: omit traffic class when calculating flow hash · fa1be7e0
    Michal Kubecek authored
    Some of the code paths calculating flow hash for IPv6 use flowlabel member
    of struct flowi6 which, despite its name, encodes both flow label and
    traffic class. If traffic class changes within a TCP connection (as e.g.
    ssh does), ECMP route can switch between path. It's also inconsistent with
    other code paths where ip6_flowlabel() (returning only flow label) is used
    to feed the key.
    
    Use only flow label everywhere, including one place where hash key is set
    using ip6_flowinfo().
    
    Fixes: 51ebd318 ("ipv6: add support of equal cost multipath (ECMP)")
    Fixes: f70ea018
