Hi All,

I observed that using iio-sensor-proxy.service, the auto screen
rotation flipped on my laptop (Normal -> vertical, vertical->normal)
using kernel v4.8.

Anyone else has seen this?

I did a bisect and found a commit, which I am not sure how can it
impact.

ÂÂÂÂfs/dcache.c: Save one 32-bit multiply in dcache lookup
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂNoe that we're mixing in the parent pointer earlier, we
ÂÂÂÂdon't need to use hash_32() to mix its bits.ÂÂInstead, we can
ÂÂÂÂjust take the msbits of the hash value directly.
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂFor those applications which use the partial_name_hash(),
ÂÂÂÂmove the multiply to end_name_hash.
