====================
IPVS Updates for v4.18
please consider these IPVS enhancements for v4.18.
* Whitepace cleanup
* Add Maglev hashing algorithm as a IPVS scheduler
Inju Song says "Implements the Google's Maglev hashing algorithm as a
IPVS scheduler. Basically it provides consistent hashing but offers some
special features about disruption and load balancing.
1) minimal disruption: when the set of destinations changes,
a connection will likely be sent to the same destination
as it was before.
2) load balancing: each destination will receive an almost
equal number of connections.

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/nsdi16/nsdi16-paper-eisenbud.pdf
"
* Fix to correct implementation of Knuth's multiplicative hashing
which is used in sh/dh/lblc/lblcr algorithms. Instead the
implementation provided by the hash_32() macro is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
