Subject: [PATCH 5/6] rhashtable: further improve stability of rhashtable_walk
If the sequence:
obj = rhashtable_walk_next(iter);
rhashtable_walk_stop(iter);
rhashtable_remove_fast(ht, &obj->head, params);
rhashtable_walk_start(iter);
races with another thread inserting or removing
an object on the same hash chain, a subsequent
rhashtable_walk_next() is not guaranteed to get the "next"
object. It is possible that an object could be
repeated, or missed.
This can be made more reliable by keeping the objects in a hash chain
sorted by memory address. A subsequent rhashtable_walk_next()
call can reliably find the correct position in the list, and thus
find the 'next' object.
It is not possible (certainly not so easy) to achieve this with an
rhltable as keeping the hash chain in order is not so easy. When the
first object with a given key is removed, it is replaced in the chain
with the next object with the same key, and the address of that
object may not be correctly ordered.
No current user of rhltable_walk_enter() calls
rhashtable_walk_start() more than once, so no current code
could benefit from a more reliable walk of rhltables.
This patch only attempts to improve walks for rhashtables.
- a new object is always inserted after the last object with a
smaller address, or at the start
- when rhashtable_walk_start() is called, it records that 'p' is not
'safe', meaning that it cannot be dereferenced. The revalidation
that was previously done here is moved to rhashtable_walk_next()
- when rhashtable_walk_next() is called while p is not NULL and not
safe, it walks the chain looking for the first object with an
address greater than p and returns that. If there is none, it moves
to the next hash chain.
