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

26  * Version 1: one byte at a time.  Example of use:
27  *
28  * unsigned long hash = init_name_hash;
29  * while (*p)
30  *	hash = partial_name_hash(tolower(*p++), hash);
31  * hash = end_name_hash(hash);
32  *
33  * Although this is designed for bytes, fs/hfsplus/unicode.c
34  * abuses it to hash 16-bit values.
