Eric Dumazet 79eb15da3c ipv4: add net_hash_mix() dispersion to fib_info_laddrhash keys
net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses a hash table (fib_info_laddrhash)
in which fib_sync_down_addr() can locate fib_info
based on IPv4 local address.

This hash table is resized based on total number of
hashed fib_info, but the hash function is only
using the local address.

For hosts having many active network namespaces,
all fib_info for loopback devices (IPv4 address 127.0.0.1)
are hashed into a single bucket, making netns dismantles
very slow.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
