net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c uses an hash table of 256 slots,
keyed by device ifindexes: fib_info_devhash[DEVINDEX_HASHSIZE]
Problem is that with network namespaces, devices tend
to use the same ifindex.
lo device for instance has a fixed ifindex of one,
for all network namespaces.
This means that hosts with thousands of netns spend
a lot of time looking at some hash buckets with thousands
of elements, notably at netns dismantle.
Simply add a per netns perturbation (net_hash_mix())
to spread elements more uniformely.
Also change fib_devindex_hashfn() to use more entropy.

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.
