Subject: [PATCH] rhashtable: fix false-positive lockdep splat on rhltable destruction
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 12:27:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722102748.6292-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
Blamed commit removed ht->mutex usage during destruction but forgot to
switch rhashtable_free_one() to rcu_dereference_raw(), this triggers a
lockdep splat when an rhltable gets zapped.
Fixes: 09ae540e1d5c ("rhashtable: drop ht->mutex in rhashtable_free_and_destroy()")
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
