4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 142b942a75cb10ede1b42bf85368d41449ab4e3b ]
If rhashtable_walk_next detects a resize operation in progress, it jumps
to the new table and continues walking that one. But it misses to drop
the reference to it's current item, leading it to continue traversing
the new table's bucket in which the current item is sorted into, and
after reaching that bucket's end continues traversing the new table's
second bucket instead of the first one, thereby potentially missing
items.
This fixes the rhashtable runtime test for me. Bug probably introduced
by Herbert Xu's patch eddee5ba ("rhashtable: Fix walker behaviour during
rehash") although not explicitly tested.
