Hi,
I'm hoping to use rhashtable in lustre, to replace the resizeable
hashtable implementation in libcfs.
While working through the conversion I found some minor bugs in the
rhashtable code and documentation, and some areas where enhancements
could make rhashtable a better fit for lustre.
Following 6 patches are the result. Please review.
It would help me if I could get an Ack for these patches, and could
then submit them through the drivers/staging tree together with the
lustre changes that make use to rhashtable. The first 2 are mostly
just fixes to comments and can go in through the netdev tree if you
prefer - the last 4 are needed for lustre to work
correctly/optimally.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
