ip: load balance tcp connections to single dst addr and port
Load balance new TCP connections across nexthops also when they connect to the same service at a single remote address and port. This affects only port-based multipath hashing: fib_multipath_hash_policy 1 or 3. Local connections must choose both a source address and port when connecting to a remote service, in ip_route_connect. This "chicken-and-egg problem" (commit 2d7192d6cbab ("ipv4: Sanitize and simplify ip_route_{connect,newports}()")) is resolved by first selecting a source address, by looking up a route using the zero wildcard source port and address. As a result multiple connections to the same destination address and port have no entropy in fib_multipath_hash. This is not a problem when forwarding, as skb-based hashing has a 4-tuple. Nor when establishing UDP connections, as autobind there selects a port before reaching ip_route_connect. Load balance also TCP, by using a random port in fib_multipath_hash. Port assignment in inet_hash_connect is not atomic with ip_route_connect. Thus ports are unpredictable, effectively random. Implementation details: Do not actually pass a random fl4_sport, as that affects not only hashing, but routing more broadly, and can match a source port based policy route, which existing wildcard port 0 will not. Instead, define a new wildcard flowi flag that is used only for hashing. Selecting a random source is equivalent to just selecting a random hash entirely. But for code clarity, follow the normal 4-tuple hash process and only update this field. fib_multipath_hash can be reached with zero sport from other code paths, so explicitly pass this flowi flag, rather than trying to infer this case in the function itself.
