    net: Add flow_keys digest · 2f59e1eb
    Tom Herbert authored
    Some users of flow keys (well just sch_choke now) need to pass
    flow_keys in skbuff cb, and use them for exact comparisons of flows
    so that skb->hash is not sufficient. In order to increase size of
    the flow_keys structure, we introduce another structure for
    the purpose of passing flow keys in skbuff cb. We limit this structure
    to sixteen bytes, and we will technically treat this as a digest of
    flow_keys struct hence its name flow_keys_digest. In the first
    incaranation we just copy the flow_keys structure up to 16 bytes--
    this is the same information previously passed in the cb. In the
    future, we'll adapt this for larger flow_keys and could use something
    like SHA-1 over the whole flow_keys to improve the quality of the
    digest.
