10  * Routines for hashing strings of bytes to a 32-bit hash value.
11  *
12  * These hash functions are NOT GUARANTEED STABLE between kernel
13  * versions, architectures, or even repeated boots of the same kernel.
14  * (E.g. they may depend on boot-time hardware detection or be
15  * deliberately randomized.)
16  *
17  * They are also not intended to be secure against collisions caused by
18  * malicious inputs; much slower hash functions are required for that.
19  *
20  * They are optimized for pathname components, meaning short strings.
21  * Even if a majority of files have longer names, the dynamic profile of
22  * pathname components skews short due to short directory names.
23  * (E.g. /usr/lib/libsesquipedalianism.so.3.141.)

29  * unsigned long hash = init_name_hash;
30  * while (*p)
31  *	hash = partial_name_hash(tolower(*p++), hash);
32  * hash = end_name_hash(hash);
33  *
34  * Although this is designed for bytes, fs/hfsplus/unicode.c
35  * abuses it to hash 16-bit values.
