RFS is using two kinds of hash tables. First one is controlled by /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries = 2^N and using the N low order bits of the l4 hash is good enough. Then each RX queue has its own hash table, controlled by /sys/class/net/eth1/queues/rx-$q/rps_flow_cnt = 2^X Current hash function, using the X low order bits is suboptimal, because RSS is usually using Func(hash) = (hash % power_of_two); For example, with 32 RX queues, 6 low order bits have no entropy for a given queue. Switch this hash function to hash_32(hash, log) to increase chances to use all possible slots and reduce collisions.

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 reStructuredText 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.
