Subject: [PATCH 02/14] xattr: add rhashtable-based simple_xattr infrastructure
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:31:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-2-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-0-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org>
Add rhashtable support to the simple_xattr subsystem while keeping the
existing rbtree code fully functional. This allows consumers to be
migrated one at a time without breaking any intermediate build.
struct simple_xattrs gains a dispatch flag and a union holding either
the rbtree (rb_root + rwlock) or rhashtable state:
struct simple_xattrs {
bool use_rhashtable;
union {
struct { struct rb_root rb_root; rwlock_t lock; };
struct rhashtable ht;
};
};
simple_xattrs_init() continues to set up the rbtree path for existing
embedded-struct callers.
Add simple_xattrs_alloc() which dynamically allocates a simple_xattrs
and initializes the rhashtable path. This is the entry point for
consumers switching to pointer-based lazy allocation.
The five core functions (get, set, list, add, free) dispatch based on
the use_rhashtable flag.
Existing callers continue to use the rbtree path unchanged. As each
consumer is converted it will switch to simple_xattrs_alloc() and the
rhashtable path. Once all consumers are converted a follow-up patch
will remove the rbtree code.
