====================
flow_dissector: Paramterize dissection and other features
This patch set adds some new capabilities to flow_dissector:
- Add flags to flow dissector functions to control dissection
- Flag to stop dissection when L3 header is seen (don't
dissect L4)
- Flag to stop dissection when encapsulation is detected
- Flag to parse first fragment of fragmented packet. This
may provide L4 ports
- Added new reporting in key_control
- Packet is a fragment
- Packet is a first fragment
- Packet has encapsulation
Also:
- Make __skb_set_sw_hash a general function
- Create functions to get a flow hash based on flowi4 or flowi6
structures without an reference to an skbuff
- Ignore flow dissector return value from ___skb_get_hash. Just
use whatever key fields are found to make a hash
Tested:
Ran 200 netperf TCP_RR instances for IPv6 and IPv4. Did not see any
regression. Ran UDP_RR with 10000 byte request and response size
for IPv4 and IPv6, no regression observed however I did see better
performance with IPv6 flow labels due to use of flow labels for L4
hash.
