Subject: [PATCH 5/6] selinux: improve role transition hashing
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2023 17:12:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230818151220.166215-4-cgzones@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230818151220.166215-1-cgzones@googlemail.com>
The number of buckets is calculated by performing a binary AND against
the mask of the hash table, which is one less than its size (which is a
power of two). This leads to all top bits being discarded, e.g. with
the Reference Policy on Debian there exists 376 entries, leading to a
size of 512, discarding the top 23 bits.
Use jhash to improve the hash table utilization:
# current
roletr: 376 entries and 124/512 buckets used, longest chain length 8, sum of chain length^2 1496
# patch
roletr: 376 entries and 266/512 buckets used, longest chain length 4, sum of chain length^2 646
