Commit [2] is already present in 4.19 stable, so backport the
remaining three fixes with minor context adjustments.

Eric Dumazet (3):
   ipv4: use siphash instead of Jenkins in fnhe_hashfun()
   ipv6: use siphash in rt6_exception_hash()
   ipv6: make exception cache less predictible

You sent 0/3 but only 2 patches showed up?

Can you please resend all 3?

I tried resending the full patchset, but the last patch is still not showing up.

git send-email doesn't report any errors:

Subject: [PATCH 4.19 3/3] ipv6: make exception cache less predictible

commit a00df2caffed3883c341d5685f830434312e4a43 upstream.

Even after commit 4785305c05b2 ("ipv6: use siphash in rt6_exception_hash()"),
an attacker can still use brute force to learn some secrets from a victim
linux host.

One way to defeat these attacks is to make the max depth of the hash
table bucket a random value.

Before this patch, each bucket of the hash table used to store exceptions
could contain 6 items under attack.

After the patch, each bucket would contains a random number of items,
between 6 and 10. The attacker can no longer infer secrets.

This is slightly increasing memory size used by the hash table,
we do not expect this to be a problem.

Following patch is dealing with the same issue in IPv4.
