[ Upstream commit 6ac66cb03ae306c2e288a9be18226310529f5b25 ]
Route hints when the nexthop is part of a multipath group causes packets
in the same receive batch to be sent to the same nexthop irrespective of
the multipath hash of the packet. So, do not extract route hint for
packets whose destination is part of a multipath group.
A new SKB flag IPSKB_MULTIPATH is introduced for this purpose, set the
flag when route is looked up in ip_mkroute_input() and use it in
ip_extract_route_hint() to check for the existence of the flag.
Fixes: 02b24941619f ("ipv4: use dst hint for ipv4 list receive")

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.
