      [PATCH] knfsd: fix hash function for IP addresses on 64bit little-endian machines. · 1f1e030b
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
      of the middle-order bits.  (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).
      
      IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
      the low-order bits.  As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
      bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
      not contribute to the hash.  Thus you can have the situation where all
      clients appear on one hash chain.
      
      So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
      works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.
      
      Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.
