Merge branch 'ip-improve-tcp-sock-multipath-routing'

Willem de Bruijn says: ==================== ip: improve tcp sock multipath routing From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Improve layer 4 multipath hash policy for local tcp connections: patch 1: Select a source address that matches the nexthop device. Due to tcp_v4_connect making separate route lookups for saddr and route, the two can currently be inconsistent. patch 2: Use all paths when opening multiple local tcp connections to the same ip address and port. patch 3: Test the behavior. Extend the fib_tests.sh testsuite with one opening many connections, and count SYNs on both egress devices, for packets matching the source address of the dev. Changelog in the individual patches ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250424143549.669426-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
