[PATCH 0/3] rhashtable: Get rid of raw table walkers part 1

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Date: 2016-08-18 08:49:49

Hi:

This series starts the process of getting rid of all raw rhashtable
walkers (e.g., using any of the rht_for_each helpers) from the
kernel.

We need to do this before I can fix the resize kmalloc failure issue
by using multi-layered tables.

We should do this anyway because almost all raw table walkers are
already buggy in that they don't handle multiple rhashtables during
a resize.

Dave/Tomas, please keep an eye out for any new patches that try
to introduce raw table walkers and nack them.

Thanks,
