Merge branch 'rhashtable-next'
Ying Xue says:
====================
remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket
After tipc socket successfully avoids the involvement of an extra lock
with rhashtable_lookup_insert(), it's possible for netlink socket to
remove its hash socket lock now. But as netlink socket needs a compare
function to look for an object, we first introduce a new function
called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert() in commit #1 which is
implemented based on original rhashtable_lookup_insert(). We
subsequently remove nl_sk_hash_lock from netlink socket with the new
introduced function in commit #2. Lastly, as Thomas requested, we add
commit #3 to indicate the implementation of what the grow and shrink
decision function must enforce min/max shift.
v2:
As Thomas pointed out, there was a race between checking portid and
then setting it in commit #2. Now use socket lock to make the process
of both checking and setting portid atomic, and then eliminate the
race.
