Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fix useless rol32 call on hash
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:12:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180717161239.30782-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The rol32 call is currently rotating hash but the rol'd value is
being discarded. I believe the current code is incorrect and hash
should be assigned the rotated value returned from rol32.

Thanks to David Lebrun for spotting this.
