ipv4: use l4 hash for locally generated multipath flows
This patch changes how the multipath hash is computed for locally generated flows: now the hash comprises l4 information. This allows better utilization of the available paths when the existing flows have the same source IP and the same destination IP: with l3 hash, even when multiple connections are in place simultaneously, a single path will be used, while with l4 hash we can use all the available paths. v2 changes: - use get_hash_from_flowi4() instead of implementing just another l4 hash function Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
