cake_update_flowkeys() is supposed to update the flow dissector keys
with the NAT-translated addresses and ports from conntrack, so that
CAKE's per-flow fairness correctly identifies post-NAT flows as
belonging to the same connection.
For the source port, this works correctly:
keys->ports.src = port;
But for the destination port, the assignment is reversed:
port = keys->ports.dst;
This means the NAT destination port is never updated in the flow keys.
As a result, when multiple connections are NATed to the same destination,
CAKE treats them as separate flows because the original (pre-NAT)
destination ports differ. This breaks CAKE's NAT-aware flow isolation
when using the "nat" mode.
The bug was introduced in commit
b0c19ed6088a ("sch_cake: Take advantage
of skb->hash where appropriate") which refactored the original direct
assignment into a compare-and-conditionally-update pattern, but wrote
the destination port update backwards.
Fix by reversing the assignment direction to match the source port
pattern.
