rhashtable: move dereference inside rht_ptr()
Rather than dereferencing a pointer to a bucket and then passing the result to rht_ptr(), we now pass in the pointer and do the dereference in rht_ptr(). This requires that we pass in the tbl and hash as well to support RCU checks, and means that the various rht_for_each functions can expect a pointer that can be dereferenced without further care. There are two places where we dereference a bucket pointer where there is no testable protection - in each case we know that we much have exclusive access without having taken a lock. The previous code used rht_dereference() to pretend that holding the mutex provided protects, but holding the mutex never provides protection for accessing buckets. So instead introduce rht_ptr_exclusive() that can be used when there is known to be exclusive access without holding any locks. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
