NeilBrown 055ed193b1 staging: lustre: convert lov_pool to use rhashtable
The pools hashtable can be implemented using
the rhashtable implementation in lib.
This has the benefit that lookups are lock-free.

We need to use kfree_rcu() to free a pool so
that a lookup racing with a deletion will not access
freed memory.

rhashtable has no combined lookup-and-delete interface,
but as the lookup is lockless and the chains are short,
this brings little cost.  Even if a lookup finds a pool,
we must be prepared for the delete to fail to find it,
as we might race with another thread doing a delete.

We use atomic_inc_not_zero() after finding a pool in the
hash table and if that fails, we must have raced with a
deletion, so we treat the lookup as a failure.

Use hashlen_string() rather than a hand-crafted hash
function.
Note that the pool_name, and the search key, are
guaranteed to be nul terminated.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
