[ Upstream commit ca7af0402550f9a0b3316d5f1c30904e42ed257d ] Here we're randomly adding between 0 and 7 random increments to the selected source port in order to add some noise in the source port selection that will make the next port less predictable. With the default port range of 32768-60999 this means a worst case reuse scenario of 14116/8=1764 connections between two consecutive uses of the same port, with an average of 14116/4.5=3137. This code was stressed at more than 800000 connections per second to a fixed target with all connections closed by the client using RSTs (worst condition) and only 2 connections failed among 13 billion, despite the hash being reseeded every 10 seconds, indicating a perfectly safe situation.

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.
