[ovs-dev] [PATCH 00/16] generic hashtable implementation

[Sasha Levin]

There are quite a few places in the kernel which implement a hashtable
in a very similar way. Instead of having implementations of a hashtable
all over the kernel, we can re-use the code.

New changes since the RFC:

 - Addressed last comments about previous patches.
 - RCU support.
 - Simplified the case where the hashtable is allocated statically, which is
 the common case.
 - A lot more places converted to use the new hashtable.


Sasha Levin (16):
  hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable
  user_ns: use new hashtable implementation
  mm,ksm: use new hashtable implementation
  workqueue: use new hashtable implementation
  mm/huge_memory: use new hashtable implementation
  tracepoint: use new hashtable implementation
  net,9p: use new hashtable implementation
  block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation
  SUNRPC/cache: use new hashtable implementation
  dlm: use new hashtable implementation
  net,l2tp: use new hashtable implementation
  dm: use new hashtable implementation
  lockd: use new hashtable implementation
  net,rds: use new hashtable implementation
  openvswitch: use new hashtable implementation
  tracing output: use new hashtable implementation
