[ Upstream commit 49aefd131739df552f83c566d0665744c30b1d70 ]
Commit b5f862180d70 was introduced to discard lowest hash bit for layer3+4 hashing
but it also removes last bit from non layer3+4 hashing
Below script shows layer2+3 hashing will result in same slave to be used with above commit.
$ cat hash.py
#/usr/bin/python3.6
h_dests=[0xa0, 0xa1]
h_source=0xe3
hproto=0x8
saddr=0x1e7aa8c0
daddr=0x17aa8c0
for h_dest in h_dests:
hash = (h_dest ^ h_source ^ hproto ^ saddr ^ daddr)
hash ^= hash >> 16
hash ^= hash >> 8
print(hash)
print("with last bit removed")
for h_dest in h_dests:
hash = (h_dest ^ h_source ^ hproto ^ saddr ^ daddr)
hash ^= hash >> 16
hash ^= hash >> 8
hash = hash >> 1
print(hash)
Output:
$ python3.6 hash.py
522133332
522133333 <-------------- will result in both slaves being used
with last bit removed
261066666
261066666 <-------------- only single slave used

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.
