I dug even deeper into the rhashtable code it looks like it can fail a
GFP_ATOMIC allocation for new buckets, which will bubble ENOMEM up to
the caller, so Brian's right that we have to handle various errors, and
should do so in a manner that doesn't kill the filesystem.
Seeing as it's a backref cache and not critical to correct operation, I
think I can change add_backref to ignore errors other than EEXIST
(because having duplicate entries is a sign that we've screwed something
up). change_backref can absorb all the error codes, though it'll have
to handle the case that lookup_fast returns ENOENT.
