commit 4785305c05b25a242e5314cc821f54ade4c18810 upstream.
A group of security researchers brought to our attention
the weakness of hash function used in rt6_exception_hash()
Lets use siphash instead of Jenkins Hash, to considerably
reduce security risks.
Following patch deals with IPv4.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
