commit 8d67743653dce5a0e7aa500fcccb237cde7ad88e upstream. The recent futex inode life time fix changed the ordering of the futex key union struct members, but forgot to adjust the hash function accordingly, As a result the hashing omits the leading 64bit and even hashes beyond the futex key causing a bad hash distribution which led to a ~100% performance regression. Hand in the futex key pointer instead of a random struct member and make the size calculation based of the struct offset.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
