[PATCH] rhashtable: Better error message on allocation failure

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 18:33:23 EST


Memory allocation failures print backtraces by default, but when we're
running out of a rhashtable worker the backtrace is useless - it doesn't
tell us which hashtable the allocation failure was for.

This adds a dedicated warning that prints out functions from the
rhashtable params, which will be a bit more useful.
