Hm. Would you rather allocate a separate head entry for the
hashtable,
or chain the entries?
My plan is to build support for this directly into rhashtable.
So I'm adding a struct rhlist_head that would be used in place
of rhash_head for these cases and it'll carry an extra pointer
for the list of identical entries.
I will then add an additional layer of insert/lookup interfaces
for rhlist_head.
Herbert, thank you for fixing this!
It would not be fun to have to revert to the old way of hashing
stations in mac80211...
I'll be happy to test the patches when you have them ready.
