I'm talking about the commit a592cd above. You were doing this:
for (i = 0; i < tbl->size; i++)
rht_for_each_entry_rcu(ck, pos, tbl, i, hash) {
This is absolutely not allowed. The rhashtable must only be accessed
through the published API and not iterated over directly. This is
guaranteed to break during a resize/rehash.
