Herbert Xu 6d684e5469 rhashtable: Cap total number of entries to 2^31
When max_size is not set or if it set to a sufficiently large
value, the nelems counter can overflow.  This would cause havoc
with the automatic shrinking as it would then attempt to fit a
huge number of entries into a tiny hash table.

This patch fixes this by adding max_elems to struct rhashtable
to cap the number of elements.  This is set to 2^31 as nelems is
not a precise count.  This is sufficiently smaller than UINT_MAX
that it should be safe.

When max_size is set max_elems will be lowered to at most twice
max_size as is the status quo.

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.
