After a bit of reading, using a 'strong' PRNG as base for a hash

Will you push that also to peterz/queue.git#locking/urgent?

P.S.: "lockdep: print chain_key collision information" in your above
tree differs from the upstream one.

Only after I've had a play and observed it making any difference; Dmitry
supposedly has a reproducer, but I've not yet had a moment to try.

Hi Peter,

any news on that stuff?
How can someone test this?
How did Dmitry reproduce?

You dropped this implementation and the below is a different approach?

"locking/lockdep: Use __jhash_mix() for iterate_chain_key()"
