>Subject: [PATCH] Prevent premature hsplit() calls, and only trigger REHASH
> after hsplit()
>
>Triggering a hsplit due to long chain length allows an attacker
>to create a carefully chosen set of keys which can cause the hash
>to use 2 * (2**32) * sizeof(void *) bytes ram. AKA a DOS via memory
>exhaustion. Doing so also takes non trivial time.
>
>Eliminating this check, and only inspecting chain length after a
>normal hsplit() (triggered when keys>buckets) prevents the attack
>entirely, and makes such attacks relatively benign.
