[PATCH -next v3 0/4] rhashtable: guarantee initial allocation

[Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net>]

Changes from v2:
lkml.kernel.org/r/20180601160125.30031-1-dave@stgolabs.net

- Dropped original patch 1 (which removed the EINVAL returns
  for WARN_ON) as well as patch 5.
- Added a new patch 1, which simplifies the alloc after mhocko's
  changes (originally suggested by Linus).
- Use max_t instead of min_t for the resize.

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 deal with the rhashtable_init() changes, while the
patches 3+4 remove some ipc hacks we no longer need.

Please consider for v4.19.
