psp: use sk->sk_hash in psp_write_headers()

Browse source

udp_flow_src_port() is indirectly using sk->sk_txhash as a base,
because __tcp_transmit_skb() uses skb_set_hash_from_sk().

This is problematic because this field can change over the
lifetime of a TCP flow, thanks to calls to sk_rethink_txhash().

Problem is that some NIC might (ab)use the PSP UDP source port in their
RSS computation, and PSP packets for a given flow could jump
from one queue to another.

In order to avoid surprises, it is safer to let Protective Load
Balancing (PLB) get its entropy from the IPv6 flowlabel,
and change psp_write_headers() to use sk->sk_hash which
does not change for the duration of the flow.

We might add a sysctl to select the behavior, if there
is a need for it.
