[PATCH] ipv6: fix useless rol32 call on hash
From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-17 16:12:49
From: Colin Ian King <redacted> The rol32 call is currently rotating hash but the rol'd value is being discarded. I believe the current code is incorrect and hash should be assigned the rotated value returned from rol32. Thanks to David Lebrun for spotting this.
