sunrpc: Fix bit count when setting hashtable size to power-of-two
Author: Frank Sorenson <sorenson@redhat.com> Date: 2016-06-27 13:55:48 -0500 sunrpc: Fix bit count when setting hashtable size to power-of-two The hashtable size is incorrectly calculated as the next higher power-of-two when being set to a power-of-two. fls() returns the bit number of the most significant set bit, with the least significant bit being numbered '1'. For a power-of-two, fls() will return a bit number which is one higher than the number of bits required, leading to a hashtable which is twice the requested size. In addition, the value of (1 << nbits) will always be at least num, so the test will never be true. Fix the hash table size calculation to correctly set hashtable size, and eliminate the unnecessary check.
