From 8387ff2577eb9ed245df9a39947f66976c6bcd02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 07:51:30 -0700 Subject: vfs: make the string hashes salt the hash We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early instead of late. A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism. Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the NULL pointer as a no-salt.
