We are using flowlabel to do load balance. Routers in the path maintain connection state. So if flow label changes, the packet is routed through a different router. In this case, the old router doesn't get the reset packet to close the tcp connection. The reason is the normal packet gets the skb->hash from sk->sk_txhash, which is generated randomly. ip6_make_flowlabel then uses the hash to create a flowlabel. The reset packet doesn't get assigned a hash, so the flowlabel is calculated with flowi6. The patches fix the issue.
