rhashtable: fix lockdep splat in rhashtable_destroy()
No need for rht_dereference() from rhashtable_destroy() since the existing callers don't hold the mutex when invoking this function from: 1) Netlink, this is called in case of memory allocation errors in the initialization path, no nl_sk_hash_lock is held. 2) Netfilter, this is called from the rcu callback, no nfnl_lock is held either. I think it's reasonable to assume that the caller has to make sure that no hash resizing may happen before releasing the bucket array. Therefore, the caller should be responsible for releasing this in a safe way, document this to make people aware of it. This resolves a rcu lockdep splat in nft_hash: =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 3.16.0+ #178 Not tainted ------------------------------- lib/rhashtable.c:596 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by ksoftirqd/2/18: #0: (rcu_callback){......}, at: [<ffffffff810918fd>] rcu_process_callbacks+0x27e/0x4c7 stack backtrace: CPU: 2 PID: 18 Comm: ksoftirqd/2 Not tainted 3.16.0+ #178 Hardware name: LENOVO 23259H1/23259H1, BIOS G2ET32WW (1.12 ) 05/30/2012 0000000000000001 ffff88011706bb68 ffffffff8143debc 0000000000000000 ffff880117062610 ffff88011706bb98 ffffffff81077515 ffff8800ca041a50 0000000000000004 ffff8800ca386480 ffff8800ca041a00 ffff88011706bbb8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8143debc>] dump_stack+0x4e/0x68 [<ffffffff81077515>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xfa/0x103 [<ffffffff81228b1b>] rhashtable_destroy+0x46/0x52 [<ffffffffa06f21a7>] nft_hash_destroy+0x73/0x82 [nft_hash] Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Acked-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch>
