Both LGTM.
+dshash_strcmp(const void *a, const void *b, size_t size, void *arg)
+{
+ Assert(strlen((const char *) a) < size);
+ Assert(strlen((const char *) b) < size);

Do you think the below change will be more explicitly?
#define DSMRegistryNameSize 64
DSMRegistryEntry
{
char name[DSMRegistryNameSize];
}
Assert(strlen((const char *) a) < DSMRegistryNameSize);
