With multipath routes, try to ensure that packets leave on the device
that is associated with the source address.
Avoid the following tcpdump example:
veth0 Out IP 10.1.0.2.38640 > 10.2.0.3.8000: Flags [S]
veth1 Out IP 10.1.0.2.38648 > 10.2.0.3.8000: Flags [S]
Which can happen easily with the most straightforward setup:
ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev veth0
ip addr add 10.1.0.1/24 dev veth1
ip route add 10.2.0.3 nexthop via 10.0.0.2 dev veth0 \
nexthop via 10.1.0.2 dev veth1
This is apparently considered WAI, based on the comment in
ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu:
* 2. Moreover, we are allowed to send packets with saddr
* of another iface. --ANK
It may be ok for some uses of multipath, but not all. For instance,
when using two ISPs, a router may drop packets with unknown source.
The behavior occurs because tcp_v4_connect makes three route
lookups when establishing a connection:
1. ip_route_connect calls to select a source address, with saddr zero.
2. ip_route_connect calls again now that saddr and daddr are known.
3. ip_route_newports calls again after a source port is also chosen.
With a route with multiple nexthops, each lookup may make a different
choice depending on available entropy to fib_select_multipath. So it
is possible for 1 to select the saddr from the first entry, but 3 to
select the second entry. Leading to the above situation.
Address this by preferring a match that matches the flowi4 saddr. This
will make 2 and 3 make the same choice as 1. Continue to update the
backup choice until a choice that matches saddr is found.
Do this in fib_select_multipath itself, rather than passing an fl4_oif
constraint, to avoid changing non-multipath route selection. Commit

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
