tcp: improve inet6_ehashfn() entropy
Instead of only using the 32 low order bits of the local address, use all of them. Xor net_hash_mix(net) with the 32 high order bits of the local address so that we can use __jhash_mix() three times. If we were hashing 4 extra bytes, we would need one __jhash_final() which is a bit expensive. Using net_hash_mix() at the beginning allows better register allocation. We no longer use a cascade of two jhash and inet6_ehash_secret, this was dubious/weak. Add a comment explaining why @lport is not part of the jhash computation. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.0 vmlinux.1 add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-24 (-24) Function old new delta inet6_ehashfn 330 306 -24 Total: Before=24855958, After=24855934, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260313120346.3378811-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
