Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 4/4] net: openvswitch: avoid double-rcu wait period
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 06:58:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611045817.1302665-5-amorenoz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611045817.1302665-1-amorenoz@redhat.com>

Avoid waiting for two rcu periods by scheduling the deletion of the
flow_table and all of its referenced structs at the same time.
