Ying,

I prefer it now if you don't mind. Basically I would like to see the
grow decision factored out at least:

        /* Only grow the table if no resizing is currently in progress. */
        if (ht->tbl != ht->future_tbl &&
            ht->p.grow_decision && ht->p.grow_decision(ht, tbl->size))
                schedule_delayed_work(&ht->run_work, 0);
