From 3807ff5899f892abb4f06747c245fd648a2acdc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 16:41:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macvlan: add a salt to mc_hash() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some multicast addresses are common to all macvlans, so if a multicast message has a hash value collision, we have to deliver a copy to all macvlans, adding significant latency and possible packet drops if netdev_max_backlog limit is hit. Having a per macvlan hash function permits to reduce the impact of hash collisions.
