[PATCH v4] hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable

[PATCH v4] hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable

[Sasha Levin]

This hashtable implementation is using hlist buckets to provide a simple
hashtable to prevent it from getting reimplemented all over the kernel.

I'll send just the hashtable patch itself to avoid spamming a bunch of people until
it's stable again.

I think the final ";" should not be here.

Is the operator priority always OK here, or should we put bits between
parenthesis ?

The final ";" should not be here.

Parenthesis around HASH_BITS(name) seem useless.

Parenthesis around ilog2(ARRAY_SIZE(name)) seem useless too.

hash_init has a newline before ({, but not here. Please use a consistent

I suspect that hashtable will be a pointer, and you use the "+" operator
to do an offset on this pointer. Any thought on using:

            INIT_HLIST_HEAD(&hashtable[__i]);

instead ? It would provide the same result, but would ensure that the
user is indeed passing a pointer, and not an integer.

Also, why isn't it a static inline ? I'm probably missing something. If
there is a reason why it needs to stay a #define, please document it in
the comment.

Same question here about static inline instead of #define ?

It also looks nicer :)

It's a define because it needs to get the size of the hashtable.

I'll document that.
