Although rhashtable library allows user to specify a quiet big size
for user's created hash table, the table may be shrunk to a
very small size - HASH_MIN_SIZE(4) after object is removed from
the table at the first time. Subsequently, even if the total amount
of objects saved in the table is quite lower than user's initial
setting in a long time, the hash table size is still dynamically
adjusted by rhashtable_shrink() or rhashtable_expand() each time
object is inserted or removed from the table. However, as
synchronize_rcu() has to be called when table is shrunk or
expanded by the two functions, we should permit user to set the
minimum table size through configuring the minimum number of shifts
according to user specific requirement, avoiding these expensive
actions of shrinking or expanding because of calling synchronize_rcu().

No need for rht_dereference() from rhashtable_destroy() since the
existing callers don't hold the mutex when invoking this function
from:
1) Netlink, this is called in case of memory allocation errors in the
initialization path, no nl_sk_hash_lock is held.
2) Netfilter, this is called from the rcu callback, no nfnl_lock is
held either.
I think it's reasonable to assume that the caller has to make sure
that no hash resizing may happen before releasing the bucket array.
Therefore, the caller should be responsible for releasing this in a
safe way, document this to make people aware of it.
This resolves a rcu lockdep splat in nft_hash:

No need to export rht_obj(), all inner to outer object translations
occur internally. It was intended to be used with rht_for_each() which
now primarily serves as the iterator for rhashtable_remove_pprev() to
effectively flush and free the full table.

Generic implementation of a resizable, scalable, concurrent hash table
based on [0]. The implementation supports both, fixed size keys specified
via an offset and length, or arbitrary keys via own hash and compare
functions.
Lookups are lockless and protected as RCU read side critical sections.
Automatic growing/shrinking based on user configurable watermarks is
available while allowing concurrent lookups to take place.
Objects to be hashed must include a struct rhash_head. The reason for not
using the existing struct hlist_head is that the expansion and shrinking
will have two buckets point to a single entry which would lead in obscure
reverse chaining behaviour.
Code includes a boot selftest if CONFIG_TEST_RHASHTABLE is defined.
