ipv6: Add a sysctl to control multipath hash fields
A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space. This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields. The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037 To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the 'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields. The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
