[PATCH v3 13/15] modpost: use hlist for hash table implementation

Masahiro Yamada masahiroy at kernel.org
Thu May 5 17:22:42 AEST 2022


Import hlist macros from include/linux/list.h to implement the hash
table in a more generic way.

While I was here, I increased the hash table size from 1024 to 8192
to decrease the hash collision.

I moved ARRAY_SIZE() from file2alias.c to modpost.h because it is needed
in modpost.c as well.

Changes in v2:
  - Move to the end of the series because this is now optional
