[PATCH v3 net 7/7] tcp: drop the hash_32() part from the index calculation

From: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
Date: 2022-05-02 08:48:07

Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

In commit 190cc82489f4 ("tcp: change source port randomizarion at
connect() time"), the table_perturb[] array was introduced and an
index was taken from the port_offset via hash_32(). But it turns
out that hash_32() performs a multiplication while the input here
comes from the output of SipHash in secure_seq, that is well
distributed enough to avoid the need for yet another hash.
