This could have been missed by the > tools you use or was the conversion intentionally skipped? Yeah -- this was intentional. We wanted to finish conversion of members that were actually being used by the kernel. There is a lot of UAPI and "all possible data structures" structs declared in the kernel that we were wading through only to find they weren't actually being used. That said, I'm happy to send a patch to convert hashtable -- it's not used so it can't break anything. ;) -- Kees Cook
