patch 'hash: fix thash LFSR initialization' has been queued to stable release 21.11.9

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/02/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/23128ef43fd91441d18b8a4651964c4a75e7b4d4

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] hash: fix thash LFSR initialization

[ upstream commit ebf7f1188ea83d6154746e90d535392113ecb1e8 ]

Reverse polynomial for an LFSR was initialized improperly which
could generate improper bit sequence in some situations.
This patch implements proper polynomial reversing function.

Fixes: 28ebff11c2dc ("hash: add predictable RSS")
