ipv6: add ipv6_addr_hash() helper
Introduce ipv6_addr_hash() helper doing a XOR on all bits of an IPv6 address, with an optimized x86_64 version. Use it in flow dissector, as suggested by Andrew McGregor, to reduce hash collision probabilities in fq_codel (and other users of flow dissector) Use it in ip6_tunnel.c and use more bit shuffling, as suggested by David Laight, as existing hash was ignoring most of them. Use it in sunrpc and use more bit shuffling, using hash_32(). Use it in net/ipv6/addrconf.c, using hash_32() as well. As a cleanup, use it in net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Andrew McGregor <andrewmcgr@gmail.com> Cc: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Cc: David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
