Flags
=====
``flow_keys->flags`` might contain optional input flags that work as follows:
* ``BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_PARSE_1ST_FRAG`` - tells BPF flow dissector to
continue parsing first fragment; the default expected behavior is that
flow dissector returns as soon as it finds out that the packet is fragmented;
used by ``eth_get_headlen`` to estimate length of all headers for GRO.
* ``BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL`` - tells BPF flow dissector to
stop parsing as soon as it reaches IPv6 flow label; used by
``___skb_get_hash`` and ``__skb_get_hash_symmetric`` to get flow hash.
* ``BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_ENCAP`` - tells BPF flow dissector to stop
parsing as soon as it reaches encapsulated headers; used by routing
infrastructure.
