  • File src/OFObject.h
    • 2012-12-04 09:19:58 — part of check-in [f60e4012b7] on branch trunk — Randomize hashes.

      This prevents DoSing hashtables by creating conflicts deliberately. (user: js, size: 24593) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]

    • 2012-12-07 13:57:13 — part of check-in [6712442fad] on branch trunk — Revert several OFHashMap related commits.

      This reverts:
      * "Add a per-hashtable seed."
      (cd49c7fcb4b8dca62dccdbf6545d37d86b639eef)
      * "OFMapTable: Reseed on resize."
      (5b545165691cd9ad838c9125b02ff7c857bd4b99)
      * "Add of_random()."
      (9810f191b4e8c1612e7e55095c87e589660fbdba)
      * "OFMapTable: Rotate hash by a random number of bits"
      (3bef412217232d01f202794f7175c130afa1df8f)

      It turned out that these were slowing down all classes based on
      OFHashMap significantly. As there is still no proof that the seeded
      one-at-a-time hash is vulnerable to DoS, these changes were overly
      paranoid. While overly paranoid is usually ok, it is not if it severely
      impacts performance. (user: js, size: 24593) [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using]
