[ Upstream commit aeac4ec8f46d610a10adbaeff5e2edf6a88ffc62 ]
On embedded systems with little memory and no relevant
security concerns, it is beneficial to reduce the size
of the table.
Reducing the size from 2^16 to 2^8 saves 255 KiB
of kernel RAM.
Makes the table size configurable as an expert option.
The size was previously increased from 2^8 to 2^16
in commit 4c2c8f03a5ab ("tcp: increase source port perturb table to
2^16").

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.
