grow_decision and shink_decision no longer exist, so remove
the remaining references to them.

When a walk of an rhashtable is interrupted with rhastable_walk_stop()
and then rhashtable_walk_start(), the location to restart from is based
on a 'skip' count in the current hash chain, and this can be incorrect
if insertions or deletions have happened. This does not happen when
the walk is not stopped and started as iter->p is a placeholder which
is safe to use while holding the RCU read lock.
In rhashtable_walk_start() we can revalidate that 'p' is still in the
same hash chain. If it isn't then the current method is still used.
With this patch, if a rhashtable walker ensures that the current
object remains in the table over a stop/start period (possibly by
elevating the reference count if that is sufficient), it can be sure
that a walk will not miss objects that were in the hashtable for the
whole time of the walk.
rhashtable_walk_start() may not find the object even though it is
still in the hashtable if a rehash has moved it to a new table. In
this case it will (eventually) get -EAGAIN and will need to proceed
through the whole table again to be sure to see everything at least
once.

The documentation claims that when rhashtable_walk_start_check()
detects a resize event, it will rewind back to the beginning
of the table. This is not true. We need to set ->slot and
->skip to be zero for it to be true.

Neither rhashtable_walk_enter() or rhltable_walk_enter() sleep, though
they do take a spinlock without irq protection.
So revise the comments to accurately state the contexts in which
these functions can be called.

Reverting the above change avoid the issue.
I *think* that reusing iter->p after a
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() is unsafe:
if the table has been reashed we can still and reuse 'p', but the
related grace period could be already expired.
I can't think of any better fix than a revert. Other opinions welcome!

Thanks for the report.
It would be unsafe to dereference iter->p, but the code doesn't.
At least, it doesn't dereference it until it has searched through the
table and confirmed that the pointer is still in the table.
Could you please use scripts/faddr2line to identify exactly where the
error is occurring?
e.g
./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o inet_frag_worker+0x9f/0x210
(any .o which contains inet_frag_worker should work).
Thanks,

Hi,
did you get a chance to run ./scripts/faddr2line on this address and
find out where it is crashing? I had a look in the code you posted and
couldn't see anything obvious.

This seems to suggest that it is one of the bucket spinlocks that is
being incorrectly referenced, but they aren't referenced in the failing
code at all. I cannot imagine how to interpret that.
Thanks,
