From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <redacted> Because a single create function is emitted for every hash type, from the IPv4 and IPv6 generic hash structure definitions the last one, i.e. the IPv6 was in effect for IPv4 too. Use the proper size when allocating the structure. Comment properly that because create() refers to elements of the generic hash structure, all referred ones must come before the IPv4/IPv6 dependent 'next' member.
