torvalds/linux@b67bfe0d42 changed
hlist_for_each_entry{,_rcu} to take 3 arguments instead of 4. We handle
this by switching to hlist_for_each{,_rcu}, which works across all
supported kernels.

The tsd_exit() and tsd_destroy() functions remove entries from
hash bins without taking the hash bin lock. They do take the
table lock, but tsd_get() and tsd_set() only take the hash bin
lock to allow for maximum concurency.
The result is that while tsd_get() and tsd_set() are traversing
the hash bin list it can be modified by another thread in which
happens to hash to the same value. To avoid this add the needed
locking to tsd_exit() and tsd_destroy().

In this particular instance the allocation occurred in the context
of sys_msync()->...->zpl_putpage() where we must be careful not to
initiate additional I/O.

When various kernel debuging options are enabled this allocation
may be larger than usual as shown by the following warning. It
is in no way harmful so we suppress the warning.

This is a bit of cleanup I'd been meaning to get to for a while
to reduce the chance of a type conflict. Well that conflict
finally occurred with the kstat_init() function which conflicts
with a function in the 2.6.32-6-pve kernel.

Thread specific data has implemented using a hash table, this avoids
the need to add a member to the task structure and allows maximum
portability between kernels. This implementation has been optimized
to keep the tsd_set() and tsd_get() times as small as possible.
The majority of the entries in the hash table are for specific tsd
entries. These entries are hashed by the product of their key and
pid because by design the key and pid are guaranteed to be unique.
Their product also has the desirable properly that it will be uniformly
distributed over the hash bins providing neither the pid nor key is zero.
Under linux the zero pid is always the init process and thus won't be
used, and this implementation is careful to never to assign a zero key.
By default the hash table is sized to 512 bins which is expected to
be sufficient for light to moderate usage of thread specific data.
The hash table contains two additional type of entries. They first
type is entry is called a 'key' entry and it is added to the hash during
tsd_create(). It is used to store the address of the destructor function
and it is used as an anchor point. All tsd entries which use the same
key will be linked to this entry. This is used during tsd_destory() to
quickly call the destructor function for all tsd associated with the key.
The 'key' entry may be looked up with tsd_hash_search() by passing the
key you wish to lookup and DTOR_PID constant as the pid.
The second type of entry is called a 'pid' entry and it is added to the
hash the first time a process set a key. The 'pid' entry is also used
as an anchor and all tsd for the process will be linked to it. This
list is using during tsd_exit() to ensure all registered destructors
are run for the process. The 'pid' entry may be looked up with
tsd_hash_search() by passing the PID_KEY constant as the key, and
the process pid. Note that tsd_exit() is called by thread_exit()
so if your using the Solaris thread API you should not need to call
tsd_exit() directly.
