Subject: [PATCH -next v2 0/5] rhashtable: guarantee first allocation
Date:   Fri,  1 Jun 2018 09:01:20 -0700
Message-Id: <20180601160125.30031-1-dave@stgolabs.net>

Changes from v1
lkml.kernel.org/r/20180524211135.27760-1-dave@stgolabs.net

- patch 2 is reworked a bit based on the commments from Herbert Xu.
  o upon failure, retry immediately with GFP_NOFAIL (simpler)
  o the caller now passes the needed semantics, not bucket_table_alloc().
  o we consider min_size when resizing, not just HASH_MIN_SIZE.

- removed patch 3; not need after Michal's patch.

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 will update more callers, particularly those that use BUG_ON.

patch 3+4 remove some ipc hacks we no longer need.

patch 5 updates the rhashtable test module. Trivial.

Please consider for v4.18.

Thanks!
