            Bug ID: 217618
           Summary: Enhance hash function in ip_fw_table_algo.c for
                    flow:hash
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: lutz@donnerhacke.de

While experimenting with some extentions for flow tables, I noticed, that t=
he
hash function does not separate distinct entries clearly enough. Larger flo=
ws
tables do reflect external structures and tend to heavily cluster the entri=
es
on a few hash values (i.e. src-ip and dst-ip are varied both within a netwo=
rk).
Current code does not even include the protocol number.

So I propose to reuse the existing crc32 function for this small amount of
data. The probability to have a uniform distributed hash key increases
dramatically and overall the lookup is faster than step through a list of
entries having the same key.

Note: This code depends on a zeroed struct fhashentry*, because it does not
select the individual fields. All functions despite ta_prepare_del_fhash do
clean the structure. I'm not sure, if this is can cause a problem.
