Historically this was net_random() based, and was then converted to
a hash based algorithm (private boot seed + hash of endpoint addresses)
due to concerns of leaking net_random() bits.
RANDOM_FULLY mode was added later to avoid problems with hash
based mode (see commit 34ce324019,
"netfilter: nf_nat: add full port randomization support" for details).
Just make prandom_u32() the default search starting point and get rid of
->secure_port() altogether.

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.
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.
