rhashtable: Fix reader/rehash race
There is a potential race condition between readers and the rehasher. In particular, the rehasher could have started a rehash while the reader finishes a scan of the old table but fails to see the new table pointer. This patch closes this window by adding smp_wmb/smp_rmb. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
