Nikolay Aleksandrov 19e3a9c90c net: bridge: convert multicast to generic rhashtable
The bridge multicast code currently uses a custom resizable hashtable
which predates the generic rhashtable interface. It has many
shortcomings compared and duplicates functionality that is presently
available via the generic rhashtable, so this patch removes the custom
rhashtable implementation in favor of the kernel's generic rhashtable.
The hash maximum is kept and the rhashtable's size is used to do a loose
check if it's reached in which case we revert to the old behaviour and
disable further bridge multicast processing. Also now we can support any
hash maximum, doesn't need to be a power of 2.

v3: add non-rcu br_mdb_get variant and use it where multicast_lock is
    held to avoid RCU splat, drop hash_max function and just set it
    directly

v2: handle when IGMP snooping is undefined, add br_mdb_init/uninit
    placeholders

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.

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.
