From 9d901bc05153bbf33b5da2cd6266865e531f0545 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:57:23 +1100 Subject: rhashtable: Free bucket tables asynchronously after rehash There is in fact no need to wait for an RCU grace period in the rehash function, since all insertions are guaranteed to go into the new table through spin locks. This patch uses call_rcu to free the old/rehashed table at our leisure. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
