Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: Strengthen TX and RX hashes

Both the TX and RX hashes associated with skb->hash are mostly 4-tuple
hashes. This is potentially problematic. For instance one could
concieve of a DOS attack against a TCP connection using UDP with same
4-tuple.  Most switches already use at least a 5-tuple hash, NICs
probably should also (for instance Toeplitz hash for UDP could include
UDP protocol number). This patch set implements 5-tuple hashes in the
stack.

For transmit, we simply initialize sk_hash to a random value instead of
performing any actual hash computation. A random value should provide
full 32-bits of entropy and ensure that connected sockets have a
different hash value regardless of protocol, 4-tuple, network namespace,
etc. sock_init_txhash was created to provide this.  This also can be
called for any family not just IP.

For receive, we add a new field in flow_keys called hash_extra. When
doing the jhash this value is XORed into the destination address field.
In flow_dissector, the IP protocol is placed in this field so that we
get a 5-tuple hash.

Also, in flow_dissector, we add support for including VLAN ID and GRE
keyid in the hash (via hash_extra). We implement support for extracting
a hash from MPLS entropy labels (RFC 6790).

Tom Herbert (6):
  net: initialize sk_txhash using random value
  flow_dissector: Include ip_proto in hash computation
  flow_dissector: Add hash_extra field to flow_keys struct
  flow_dissector: Include VLAN ID in hash computation
  flow_dissector: Include GRE keyid in hash computation
  flow_dissector: Include MPLS entropy label in hash computation
