ofproto-dpif-upcall: Echo HASH attribute back to datapath.
The kernel datapath may sent upcall with hash info,
ovs-vswitchd should get it from upcall and then send
it back.
The reason is that:
| When using the kernel datapath, the upcall don't
| include skb hash info relatived. That will introduce
| some problem, because the hash of skb is important
| in kernel stack. For example, VXLAN module uses
| it to select UDP src port. The tx queue selection
| may also use the hash in stack.
|
| Hash is computed in different ways. Hash is random
| for a TCP socket, and hash may be computed in hardware,
| or software stack. Recalculation hash is not easy.
|
| There will be one upcall, without information of skb
| hash, to ovs-vswitchd, for the first packet of a TCP
| session. The rest packets will be processed in Open vSwitch
| modules, hash kept. If this tcp session is forward to
| VXLAN module, then the UDP src port of first tcp packet
| is different from rest packets.
|
| TCP packets may come from the host or dockers, to Open vSwitch.
| To fix it, we store the hash info to upcall, and restore hash
| when packets sent back.
