What EEXIST error are you talking about? The only one that can be
returned on insertion is if you're explicitly checking for dups
which clearly can't be the case for you.

If you're talking about the EEXIST error due to a rehash then it is
completely hidden from you by rhashtable_insert_rehash.

If you actually meant EBUSY then yes this should prevent it from
occurring, unless your chain-length exceeds 2^32.
