4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vasily Khoruzhick <vasilykh@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f393808dc64149ccd0e5a8427505ba2974a59854 upstream. If there's no entry to drop in bucket that corresponds to the hash, early_drop() should look for it in other buckets. But since it increments hash instead of bucket number, it actually looks in the same bucket 8 times: hsize is 16k by default (14 bits) and hash is 32-bit value, so reciprocal_scale(hash, hsize) returns the same value for hash..hash+7 in most cases. Fix it by increasing bucket number instead of hash and rename _hash to bucket to avoid future confusion.
