Subject[PATCH 00/20] staging: lustre: convert to rhashtable
libcfs in lustre has a resizeable hashtable.
Linux already has a resizeable hashtable, rhashtable, which is better
is most metrics. See https://lwn.net/Articles/751374/ in a few days
for an introduction to rhashtable.

This series converts lustre to use rhashtable. This affects several
different tables, and each is different is various ways.

There are two outstanding issues. One is that a bug in rhashtable
means that we cannot enable auto-shrinking in one of the tables. That
is documented as appropriate and should be fixed soon.

The other is that rhashtable has an atomic_t which counts the elements
in a hash table. At least one table in lustre went to some trouble to
avoid any table-wide atomics, so that could lead to a regression.
I'm hoping that rhashtable can be enhanced with the option of a
per-cpu counter, or similar.


I have enabled automatic shrinking on all tables where it makes sense
and doesn't trigger the bug. I have also removed all hints concerning
min/max size - I cannot see how these could be useful.

The dump_pgcache debugfs file provided some interesting challenges. I
think I have cleaned it up enough so that it all makes sense. An
extra pair of eyes examining that code in particular would be
appreciated.

This series passes all the same tests that pass before the patches are
applied.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
