This patch adds L3 and L4 hash-based multipath routing, selectable on a
per-route basis with the reintroduced RTA_MP_ALGO attribute. The default is
now RT_MP_ALG_L3_HASH.

This hash is still far from optimal. Really I think you should look at something such as jhash_3words or the like for mixing up the addresses. Right now just XORing the values together like you are will end up with a fairly high collision rate since for example in the case of two endpoints on the same subnet you would lose the subnet as a result of XORing the source and destination addresses. Also you would lose the port data in the case of a protocol using something such as UDP where the source and destination ports might be the same value.

I'm not sure if checking for fragmentation is enough. For example if this system is routing and received a flow of UDP packets, some fragmented some not then it might end up mixing them over 2 separate next hops since some will include L4 header data and some won't.

As such you may want to have the option to exclude UDP from the protocols listed below.

What is the point in populating the mp_flow if you don't know if it is going to be used? You are populating it in ip_multipath_flow, and then you might completely ignore it in fib_select_multipath.

Maybe instead of passing the mp_flow you could instead look at passing a function pointer that would alter the flow for the multipath case instead.
