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.

Previously whenever the walker encountered a resize it simply
snaps back to the beginning and starts again. However, this only
works if the rehash started and completed while the walker was
idle.
If the walker attempts to restart while the rehash is still ongoing,
we may miss objects that we shouldn't have.
This patch fixes this by making the walker walk the old table
followed by the new table just like all other readers. If a
rehash is detected we will still signal our caller of the fact
so they can prepare for duplicates but we will simply continue
the walk onto the new table after the old one is finished either
by us or by the rehasher.

Commit c0c09bfdc4 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for worker
queue") changed ht->shift to be atomic, which is actually unnecessary.
Instead of leaving the current shift in the core rhashtable structure,
it can be cached inside the individual bucket tables.
There, it will only be initialized once during a new table allocation
in the shrink/expansion slow path, and from then onward it stays immutable
for the rest of the bucket table liftime.
That allows shift to be non-atomic. The patch also moves hash_rnd
management into the table setup. The rhashtable structure now consumes
3 instead of 4 cachelines.

Currently hash_rnd is a parameter that users can set. However,
no existing users set this parameter. It is also something that
people are unlikely to want to set directly since it's just a
random number.
In preparation for allowing the reseeding/rehashing of rhashtable,
this patch moves hash_rnd into bucket_table so that it's now an
internal state rather than a parameter.

Currently, all real users of rhashtable default their grow and shrink
decision functions to rht_grow_above_75() and rht_shrink_below_30(),
so that there's currently no need to have this explicitly selectable.
It can/should be generic and private inside rhashtable until a real
use case pops up. Since we can make this private, we'll save us this
additional indirection layer and can improve insertion/deletion time
as well.

Some existing rhashtable users get too intimate with it by walking
the buckets directly. This prevents us from easily changing the
internals of rhashtable.
This patch adds the helpers rhashtable_walk_init/exit/start/next/stop
which will replace these custom walkers.
They are meant to be usable for both procfs seq_file walks as well
as walking by a netlink dump. The iterator structure should fit
inside a netlink dump cb structure, with at least one element to
spare.

When we put our declared work task in the global workqueue with
schedule_delayed_work(), its delay parameter is always zero.
Therefore, we should define a regular work in rhashtable structure
instead of a delayed work.
By the way, we add a condition to check whether resizing functions
are NULL before cancelling the work, avoiding to cancel an
uninitialized work.
Lastly, while we wait for all work items we submitted before to run
to completion with cancel_delayed_work(), ht->mutex has been taken in
rhashtable_destroy(). Moreover, cancel_delayed_work() doesn't return
until all work items are accomplished, and when work items are
scheduled, the work's function - rht_deferred_worker() will be called.
However, as rht_deferred_worker() also needs to acquire the lock,
deadlock might happen at the moment as the lock is already held before.
So if the cancel work function is moved out of the lock covered scope,
this will avoid the deadlock.

Introduce a new function called rhashtable_lookup_compare_insert()
which is very similar to rhashtable_lookup_insert(). But the former
makes use of users' given compare function to look for an object,
and then inserts it into hash table if found. As the entire process
of search and insertion is under protection of per bucket lock, this
can help users to avoid the involvement of extra lock.

In order to allow for wider usage of rhashtable, use a special nulls
marker to terminate each chain. The reason for not using the existing
nulls_list is that the prev pointer usage would not be valid as entries
can be linked in two different buckets at the same time.
The 4 nulls base bits can be set through the rhashtable_params structure
like this:
struct rhashtable_params params = {
[...]
.nulls_base = (1U << RHT_BASE_SHIFT),
};
This reduces the hash length from 32 bits to 27 bits.

Introduces an array of spinlocks to protect bucket mutations. The number
of spinlocks per CPU is configurable and selected based on the hash of
the bucket. This allows for parallel insertions and removals of entries
which do not share a lock.
The patch also defers expansion and shrinking to a worker queue which
allows insertion and removal from atomic context. Insertions and
deletions may occur in parallel to it and are only held up briefly
while the particular bucket is linked or unzipped.
Mutations of the bucket table pointer is protected by a new mutex, read
access is RCU protected.
In the event of an expansion or shrinking, the new bucket table allocated
is exposed as a so called future table as soon as the resize process
starts. Lookups, deletions, and insertions will briefly use both tables.
The future table becomes the main table after an RCU grace period and
initial linking of the old to the new table was performed. Optimization
of the chains to make use of the new number of buckets follows only the
new table is in use.
The side effect of this is that during that RCU grace period, a bucket
traversal using any rht_for_each() variant on the main table will not see
any insertions performed during the RCU grace period which would at that
point land in the future table. The lookup will see them as it searches
both tables if needed.
Having multiple insertions and removals occur in parallel requires nelems
to become an atomic counter.

The removal function of nft_hash currently stores a reference to the
previous element during lookup which is used to optimize removal later
on. This was possible because a lock is held throughout calling
rhashtable_lookup() and rhashtable_remove().
With the introdution of deferred table resizing in parallel to lookups
and insertions, the nftables lock will no longer synchronize all
table mutations and the stored pprev may become invalid.
Removing this optimization makes removal slightly more expensive on
average but allows taking the resize cost out of the insert and
remove path.

Reallocation is only required for shrinking and expanding and both rely
on a mutex for synchronization and callers of rhashtable_init() are in
non atomic context. Therefore, no reason to continue passing allocation
hints through the API.
Instead, use GFP_KERNEL and add __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY to allow
for silent fall back to vzalloc() without the OOM killer jumping in as
pointed out by Eric Dumazet and Eric W. Biederman.

Although rhashtable library allows user to specify a quiet big size
for user's created hash table, the table may be shrunk to a
very small size - HASH_MIN_SIZE(4) after object is removed from
the table at the first time. Subsequently, even if the total amount
of objects saved in the table is quite lower than user's initial
setting in a long time, the hash table size is still dynamically
adjusted by rhashtable_shrink() or rhashtable_expand() each time
object is inserted or removed from the table. However, as
synchronize_rcu() has to be called when table is shrunk or
expanded by the two functions, we should permit user to set the
minimum table size through configuring the minimum number of shifts
according to user specific requirement, avoiding these expensive
actions of shrinking or expanding because of calling synchronize_rcu().

Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table
based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified
via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare
functions.
Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections.
Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is
available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place.
Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not
using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking
will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure
reverse chaining behaviour.
Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.
