As I understand just for being less predictable dnode hash includes 8 bits of objset pointer, starting at 6. But since objset_t is more than 1KB in size, its allocations are likely aligned to 2KB, that means 11 lower bits provide no entropy. Just take the 8 bits starting from 11.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Library ABI change (libzfs, libzfs_core, libnvpair, libuutil and libzfsbootenv)
  • Documentation (a change to man pages or other documentation)

I wonder if cityhash4() could be better (faster or cleaner) here.

I did some quick test: https://godbolt.org/z/o6j4dPEvK. On most platforms, with -O2 level optimization, cityhash64 generates fewer instructions than CRC64 and eliminates all memory access.

P.S. cityhash64 is excerpted from https://github.com/google/cityhash/blob/master/src/city.cc

As mentioned in PR openzfs#16131, replacing CRC-based hash with cityhash4
could slightly improve the performance by eliminating memory access.
Replacing algorightm is safe since the hash result is not persisted.

Specializing cityhash4 on 32-bit architectures can reduce the size
of stack frames as well as instruction count. This is a tiny but
useful optimization, since some callers invoke it frequently.

When specializing into 1/2/3/4-arg versions, the stack usage
(in bytes) on some 32-bit arches are listed as follows:

- x86: 32, 32, 32, 40
- arm-v7a: 20, 20, 28, 36
- riscv: 0, 0, 0, 16
- power: 16, 16, 16, 32
- mipsel: 8, 8, 8, 24

And each actual argument (even if passing 0) contributes evenly
to the number of multiplication instructions generated:

- x86: 9, 12, 15 ,18
- arm-v7a: 6, 8, 10, 12
- riscv / power: 12, 18, 20, 24
- mipsel: 9, 12, 15, 19

On 64-bit architectures, the tendencies are similar. But both stack
sizes and instruction counts are significantly smaller thus negligible.
