From e2307ed6cbe71c74e291681aaa7e92ab98bc3177 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:41:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rhashtable: Schedule async resize when sync realloc fails When rhashtable_insert_rehash() fails with ENOMEM, this indicates that we can't allocate the necessary memory in the current context but the limits as set by the user would still allow to grow. Thus attempt an async resize in the background where we can allocate using GFP_KERNEL which is more likely to succeed. The insertion itself will still fail to indicate pressure. This fixes a bug where the table would never continue growing once the utilization is above 100%.
