Subject: [PATCH -next 0/6] rhashtable: guarantee first allocation
Date:   Thu, 24 May 2018 14:11:29 -0700

Hi,

This series is the result of the discussion with Linus around ipc
subsystem initialization and how it behaves with error return when
calling rhashtable_init()[1]. Instead of caring about the error
or calling the infamous BUG_ON, Linus suggested we guarantee the
rhashtable allocation.

First two patches modify rhashtable_init() to just return 0, future
patches I guess can update more callers.

patch 3 is a nit I found while reading the code and just makes use
kvmalloc_array().

patch 4+5 remove some ipc hacks we no longer need.

patch 6 updates the rhashtable test module. Trivial.

Please consider for v4.18.

Thanks!

  lib/rhashtable: guarantee initial hashtable allocation
  lib/bucket_locks: use kvmalloc_array()
  ipc: get rid of ids->tables_initialized hack
  ipc: simplify ipc initialization
  lib/test_rhashtable: rhashtable_init() can no longer fail
