From 08e9897d512fe7a67e46209543b3815b57a36dc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:20:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netdev: fold name hash properly (v3) The full_name_hash function does not produce well distributed values in the lower bits, so most code uses hash_32() to fold it. This is really a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added name hashing. hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally sequential and usually well distributed.
