Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2015 07:33:22 +1100 From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>, tgraf@...g.ch, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/4] rhashtable: Fix potential crash on destroy in rhashtable_shrink The current being_destroyed check in rhashtable_expand is not enough since if we start a shrinking process after freeing all elements in the table that's also going to crash. This patch adds a being_destroyed check to the deferred worker thread so that we bail out as soon as we take the lock.
