[PATCH net-next 0/4] ICMP flow improvements

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Mon Oct 21 2019 - 16:09:58 EST


This series improves the flow inspector handling of ICMP packets:
The first two patches just add some comments in the code which would have saved
me a few minutes of time, and refactor a piece of code.
The third one adds to the flow inspector the capability to extract the
Identifier field, if present, so echo requests and replies are classified
as part of the same flow.
The fourth patch uses the function introduced earlier to the bonding driver,
so echo replies can be balanced across bonding slaves.

Matteo Croce (4):
flow_dissector: add meaningful comments
flow_dissector: skip the ICMP dissector for non ICMP packets
flow_dissector: extract more ICMP information
bonding: balance ICMP echoes in layer3+4 mode
