Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Increase scale of IPv6 nexthop groups

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>

Unlike IPv4, the kernel does not consolidate IPv6 nexthop groups. To
avoid exhausting the device's adjacency table - where nexthops are
stored - the driver does this consolidation instead.

Each nexthop group is hashed by XOR-ing the interface indexes of all the
member nexthop devices. However, the ifindex itself is not hashed, which
can result in identical keys used for different groups and finally an
-EBUSY error from rhashtable due to too long objects list.

Improve the situation by hashing the ifindex itself.
