This patch adds the missing bits to allow multiple rehashes. The
read-side as well as remove already handle this correctly. So it's
only the rehasher and insertion that need modification to handle
this.
Note that this patch doesn't actually enable it so for now rehashing
is still only performed by the worker thread.
This patch also disables the explicit expand/shrink interface because
the table is meant to expand and shrink automatically, and continuing
to export these interfaces unnecessarily complicates the life of the
rehasher since the rehash process is now composed of two parts.

This patch changes rhashtable_shrink to shrink to the smallest
size possible rather than halving the table. This is needed
because with multiple rehashing we will defer shrinking until
all other rehashing is done, meaning that when we do shrink
we may be able to shrink a lot.

Since every current rhashtable user uses jhash as their hash
function, the fact that jhash is an inline function causes each
user to generate a copy of its code.
This function provides a solution to this problem by allowing
hashfn to be unset. In which case rhashtable will automatically
set it to jhash. Furthermore, if the key length is a multiple
of 4, we will switch over to jhash2.

This patch deals with the complaint that we make indirect function
calls on the fast paths unnecessarily in rhashtable. We resolve
it by moving the fast paths into inline functions that take struct
rhashtable_param (which obviously must be the same set of parameters
supplied to rhashtable_init) as an argument.
The only remaining indirect call is to obj_hashfn (or key_hashfn it
obj_hashfn is unset) on the rehash as well as the insert-during-
rehash slow path.
This patch also extends the support of vairable-length keys to
include those where the key is fixed but scattered in the object.
For example, in netlink we want to key off the namespace and the
portid but they're not next to each other.
This patch does this by directly using the object hash function
as the indicator of whether the key is accessible or not. It
also adds a new function obj_cmpfn to compare a key against an
object. This means that the caller no longer needs to supply
explicit compare functions.
All this is done in a backwards compatible manner so no existing
users are affected until they convert to the new interface.

The commit 9d901bc051 ("rhashtable:
Free bucket tables asynchronously after rehash") causes gratuitous
failures in rhashtable_remove.
The reason is that it inadvertently introduced multiple rehashing
from the perspective of readers. IOW it is now possible to see
more than two tables during a single RCU critical section.
Fortunately the other reader rhashtable_lookup already deals with
this correctly thanks to c4db8848af
("rhashtable: rhashtable: Move future_tbl into struct bucket_table")
so only rhashtable_remove is broken by this change.
This patch fixes this by looping over every table from the first
one to the last or until we find the element that we were trying
to delete.
Incidentally the simple test for detecting rehashing to prevent
starting another shrinking no longer works. Since it isn't needed
anyway (the work queue and the mutex serves as a natural barrier
to unnecessary rehashes) I've simply killed the test.

Previously whenever the walker encountered a resize it simply
snaps back to the beginning and starts again. However, this only
works if the rehash started and completed while the walker was
idle.
If the walker attempts to restart while the rehash is still ongoing,
we may miss objects that we shouldn't have.
This patch fixes this by making the walker walk the old table
followed by the new table just like all other readers. If a
rehash is detected we will still signal our caller of the fact
so they can prepare for duplicates but we will simply continue
the walk onto the new table after the old one is finished either
by us or by the rehasher.

Commit c0c09bfdc4 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for worker
queue") changed ht->shift to be atomic, which is actually unnecessary.
Instead of leaving the current shift in the core rhashtable structure,
it can be cached inside the individual bucket tables.
There, it will only be initialized once during a new table allocation
in the shrink/expansion slow path, and from then onward it stays immutable
for the rest of the bucket table liftime.
That allows shift to be non-atomic. The patch also moves hash_rnd
management into the table setup. The rhashtable structure now consumes
3 instead of 4 cachelines.

While commit c0c09bfdc4 ("rhashtable: avoid unnecessary wakeup for
worker queue") rightfully moved part of the decision making of
whether we should expand or shrink from the expand/shrink functions
themselves into insert/delete functions in order to avoid unnecessary
worker wake-ups, it however introduced a regression by doing so.
Before that change, if no max_shift was specified (= 0) on rhashtable
initialization, rhashtable_expand() would just grow unconditionally
and lets the available memory be the limiting factor. After that
change, if no max_shift was specified, there would be _no_ expansion
step at all.
Given that netlink and tipc have a max_shift specified, it was not
visible there, but Josh Hunt reported that if nft that starts out
with a default element hint of 3 if not otherwise provided, would
slow i.e. inserts down trememdously as it cannot grow larger to
relax table occupancy.
Given that the test case verifies shrinks/expands manually, we also
must remove pointer to the helper functions to explicitly avoid
parallel resizing on insertions/deletions. test_bucket_stats() and
test_rht_lookup() could also be wrapped around rhashtable mutex to
explicitly synchronize a walk from resizing, but I think that defeats
the actual test case which intended to have explicit test steps,
i.e. 1) inserts, 2) expands, 3) shrinks, 4) deletions, with object
verification after each stage.

into a sparse hash table, we may i.e. shrink it first simply because it's

This however is counter intuitive, e.g. an initial default size of 64
elements is already small enough, and in case an elements size hint is given

The remove logic properly searched the remaining chain for a matching
entry with an identical hash but it did this while searching from both
the old and new table. Instead in order to not leave stale references
behind we need to:
1. When growing and searching from the new table:
Search remaining chain for entry with same hash to avoid having
the new table directly point to a entry with a different hash.
2. When shrinking and searching from the old table:
Check if the element after the removed would create a cross
reference and avoid it if so.
These bugs were present from the beginning in nft_hash.
Also, both insert functions calculated the hash based on the mask of
the new table. This worked while growing. Wwhile shrinking, the mask
of the inew table is smaller than the mask of the old table. This lead
to a bit not being taken into account when selecting the bucket lock
and thus caused the wrong bucket to be locked eventually.

rhashtable currently allows to use a bucket lock per bucket. This
requires multiple levels of complicated nested locking because when
resizing, a single bucket of the smaller table will map to two
buckets in the larger table. So far rhashtable has explicitly locked
both buckets in the larger table.
By excluding the highest bit of the hash from the bucket lock map and
thus only allowing locks to buckets in a ratio of 1:2, the locking
can be simplified a lot without losing the benefits of multiple locks.
Larger tables which benefit from multiple locks will not have a single
lock per bucket anyway.

When we put our declared work task in the global workqueue with
schedule_delayed_work(), its delay parameter is always zero.
Therefore, we should define a regular work in rhashtable structure
instead of a delayed work.
By the way, we add a condition to check whether resizing functions
are NULL before cancelling the work, avoiding to cancel an
uninitialized work.
Lastly, while we wait for all work items we submitted before to run
to completion with cancel_delayed_work(), ht->mutex has been taken in
rhashtable_destroy(). Moreover, cancel_delayed_work() doesn't return
until all work items are accomplished, and when work items are
scheduled, the work's function - rht_deferred_worker() will be called.
However, as rht_deferred_worker() also needs to acquire the lock,
deadlock might happen at the moment as the lock is already held before.
So if the cancel work function is moved out of the lock covered scope,
this will avoid the deadlock.
