Since its introduction, the ovs module execute_hash action allowed
hash algorithms other than the skb->l4_hash to be used. However,
additional hash algorithms were not implemented. This means flows
requiring different hash distributions weren't able to use the
kernel datapath.
Now, introduce support for symmetric hashing algorithm as an
alternative hash supported by the ovs module using the flow
dissector.
Output of flow using l4_sym hash:
recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth(),eth_type(0x0800),
ipv4(dst=64.0.0.0/192.0.0.0,proto=6,frag=no), packets:30473425,
bytes:45902883702, used:0.000s, flags:SP.,
actions:hash(sym_l4(0)),recirc(0xd)
Some performance testing with no GRO/GSO, two veths, single flow:
hash(l4(0)): 4.35 GBits/s
hash(l4_sym(0)): 4.24 GBits/s

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
