    <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() · 917ea166
    George Spelvin authored
    
    
    Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the
    separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code.
    
    Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is
    likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash().
    
    Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which
    is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash().
    (Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!)
    
    This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for
    more than 32 bits of output.
    
    The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash()
    is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now,
    but will be improved greatly later in the series.
