Re: [PATCH 0/2 net-next] Lockless netlink_lookup() with new concurrent hash table

Netlink sockets are maintained in a hash table to allow efficient lookup
via the port ID for unicast messages. However, lookups currently require
a read lock to be taken. This series adds a new generic, resizable,
scalable, concurrent hash table based on the paper referenced in the first
patch. It then makes use of the new data type to implement lockless
netlink_lookup().

Against net-next since the initial user of the new hash table is in net/

Thomas Graf (2):
  lib: Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Table
  netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash table

This series looks great, please post an updated series once you have
addressed the current feedback.

Thanks!
