Fork of reMarkable kernel https://github.com/reMarkable/linux
da20420f83
This patch adds code that handles GFP_ATOMIC kmalloc failure on insertion. As we cannot use vmalloc, we solve it by making our hash table nested. That is, we allocate single pages at each level and reach our desired table size by nesting them. When a nested table is created, only a single page is allocated at the top-level. Lower levels are allocated on demand during insertion. Therefore for each insertion to succeed, only two (non-consecutive) pages are needed. After a nested table is created, a rehash will be scheduled in order to switch to a vmalloced table as soon as possible. Also, the rehash code will never rehash into a nested table. If we detect a nested table during a rehash, the rehash will be aborted and a new rehash will be scheduled. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
