- "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO
- "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers.
When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions
on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can
overwhelm the system, causing lockups.
Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this,
and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery.
Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.
- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for
schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing.
- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in
preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor
of generic BPF hooks.
- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add
scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs,
make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in
structs for future aux__prog parameter.
- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a
cgroup's idle state changes.
- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from
stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable.
Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs
stable backporting.
- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering,
SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

The __mm_flags_set_word() function is slightly ambiguous - we use 'set' to
refer to setting individual bits (such as in mm_flags_set()) but here we
use it to refer to overwriting the value altogether.
Rename it to __mm_flags_overwrite_word() to eliminate this ambiguity.
We additionally simplify the functions, eliminating unnecessary
bitmap_xxx() operations (the compiler would have optimised these out but
it's worth being as clear as we can be here).

1. the numa parameter was straight up ignored.
2. nothing was done to check if the to-be-cached/allocated stack matches
the local node
The id remains ignored on free in case of memoryless nodes.
Note the current caching is already bad as the cache keeps overflowing
and a different solution is needed for the long run, to be worked
out(tm).
Stats collected over a kernel build with the patch with the following
topology:
NUMA node(s): 2
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-11
NUMA node1 CPU(s): 12-23

Now that all pieces are in place, change the implementations of
sched_mm_cid_fork() and sched_mm_cid_exit() to adhere to the new strict
ownership scheme and switch context_switch() over to use the new
mm_cid_schedin() functionality.
The common case is that there is no mode change required, which makes
fork() and exit() just update the user count and the constraints.
In case that a new user would exceed the CID space limit the fork() context
handles the transition to per CPU mode with mm::mm_cid::mutex held. exit()
handles the transition back to per task mode when the user count drops
below the switch back threshold. fork() might also be forced to handle a
deferred switch back to per task mode, when a affinity change increased the
number of allowed CPUs enough.

Reading mm::mm_users and mm:::mm_cid::nr_cpus_allowed every time to compute
the maximal CID value is just wasteful as that value is only changing on
fork(), exit() and eventually when the affinity changes.
So it can be easily precomputed at those points and provided in mm::mm_cid
for consumption in the hot path.
But there is an issue with using mm::mm_users for accounting because that
does not necessarily reflect the number of user space tasks as other kernel
code can take temporary references on the MM which skew the picture.
Solve that by adding a users counter to struct mm_mm_cid, which is modified
by fork() and exit() and used for precomputing under mm_mm_cid::lock.

The CID management is a complex beast, which affects both scheduling and
task migration. The compaction mechanism forces random tasks of a process
into task work on exit to user space causing latency spikes.

For now, including <asm/pgalloc.h> instead of <linux/pgalloc.h> is
technically fine unless the .c file calls p*d_populate_kernel() helper
functions.
But it is a better practice to always include <linux/pgalloc.h>. Include
<linux/pgalloc.h> instead of <asm/pgalloc.h> outside arch/.

finish_task_switch()
sched_ext_free() was called from __put_task_struct() when the last reference
to the task is dropped, which could be long after the task has finished
running. This causes cgroup-related problems:
- ops.init_task() can be called on a cgroup which didn't get ops.cgroup_init()'d
during scheduler load, because the cgroup might be destroyed/unlinked
while the zombie or dead task is still lingering on the scx_tasks list.
- ops.cgroup_exit() could be called before ops.exit_task() is called on all
member tasks, leading to incorrect exit ordering.
Fix by moving it to finish_task_switch() to be called right after the final
context switch away from the dying task, matching when sched_class->task_dead()
is called. Rename it to sched_ext_dead() to match the new calling context.
By calling sched_ext_dead() before cgroup_task_dead(), we ensure that:
- Tasks visible on scx_tasks list have valid cgroups during scheduler load,
as cgroup_mutex prevents cgroup destruction while the task is still linked.
- All member tasks have ops.exit_task() called and are removed from scx_tasks
before the cgroup can be destroyed and trigger ops.cgroup_exit().
This fix is made possible by the cgroup_task_dead() split in the previous patch.
This also makes more sense resource-wise as there's no point in keeping
scheduler side resources around for dead tasks.

The current names cgroup_exit(), cgroup_release(), and cgroup_free() are
confusing because they look like they're operating on cgroups themselves when
they're actually task lifecycle hooks. For example, cgroup_init() initializes
the cgroup subsystem while cgroup_exit() is a task exit notification to
cgroup. Rename them to cgroup_task_exit(), cgroup_task_release(), and
cgroup_task_free() to make it clear that these operate on tasks.

The namespace tree is, among other things, currently used to support
file handles for namespaces. When a namespace is created it is placed on
the namespace trees and when it is destroyed it is removed from the
namespace trees.
While a namespace is on the namespace trees with a valid reference count
it is possible to reopen it through a namespace file handle. This is all
fine but has some issues that should be addressed.
On current kernels a namespace is visible to userspace in the
following cases:
(1) The namespace is in use by a task.
(2) The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount).
Note that (2) only cares about direct persistence of the namespace
itself not indirectly via e.g., file->f_cred file references or
similar.
(3) The namespace is a hierarchical namespace type and is the parent of
a single or multiple child namespaces.
Case (3) is interesting because it is possible that a parent namespace
might not fulfill any of (1) or (2), i.e., is invisible to userspace but
it may still be resurrected through the NS_GET_PARENT ioctl().
Currently namespace file handles allow much broader access to namespaces
than what is currently possible via (1)-(3). The reason is that
namespaces may remain pinned for completely internal reasons yet are
inaccessible to userspace.
For example, a user namespace my remain pinned by get_cred() calls to
stash the opener's credentials into file->f_cred. As it stands file
handles allow to resurrect such a users namespace even though this
should not be possible via (1)-(3). This is a fundamental uapi change
that we shouldn't do if we don't have to.
Consider the following insane case: Various architectures support the
CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_REFCOUNT option which uses lazy TLB destruction.
When this option is set a userspace task's struct mm_struct may be used
for kernel threads such as the idle task and will only be destroyed once
the cpu's runqueue switches back to another task. But because of ptrace()
permission checks struct mm_struct stashes the user namespace of the
task that struct mm_struct originally belonged to. The kernel thread
will take a reference on the struct mm_struct and thus pin it.
So on an idle system user namespaces can be persisted for arbitrary
amounts of time which also means that they can be resurrected using
namespace file handles. That makes no sense whatsoever. The problem is
of course excarabted on large systems with a huge number of cpus.
To handle this nicely we introduce an active reference count which
tracks (1)-(3). This is easy to do as all of these things are already
managed centrally. Only (1)-(3) will count towards the active reference
count and only namespaces which are active may be opened via namespace
file handles.
The problem is that namespaces may be resurrected. Which means that they
can become temporarily inactive and will be reactived some time later.
Currently the only example of this is the SIOGCSKNS socket ioctl. The
SIOCGSKNS ioctl allows to open a network namespace file descriptor based
on a socket file descriptor.
If a socket is tied to a network namespace that subsequently becomes
inactive but that socket is persisted by another process in another
network namespace (e.g., via SCM_RIGHTS of pidfd_getfd()) then the
SIOCGSKNS ioctl will resurrect this network namespace.
So calls to open_related_ns() and open_namespace() will end up
resurrecting the corresponding namespace tree.
Note that the active reference count does not regulate the lifetime of
the namespace itself. This is still done by the normal reference count.
The active reference count can only be elevated if the regular reference
count is elevated.
The active reference count also doesn't regulate the presence of a
namespace on the namespace trees. It only regulates its visiblity to
namespace file handles (and in later patches to listns()).
A namespace remains on the namespace trees from creation until its
actual destruction. This will allow the kernel to always reach any
namespace trivially and it will also enable subsystems like bpf to walk
the namespace lists on the system for tracing or general introspection
purposes.
Note that different namespaces have different visibility lifetimes on
current kernels. While most namespace are immediately released when the
last task using them exits, the user- and pid namespace are persisted
and thus both remain accessible via /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns_type>.
The user namespace lifetime is aliged with struct cred and is only
released through exit_creds(). However, it becomes inaccessible to
userspace once the last task using it is reaped, i.e., when
release_task() is called and all proc entries are flushed. Similarly,
the pid namespace is also visible until the last task using it has been
reaped and the associated pid numbers are freed.
The active reference counts of the user- and pid namespace are
decremented once the task is reaped.

The current naming is very misleading as this really isn't exiting all
of the task's namespaces. It is only exiting the namespaces that hang of
off nsproxy. Reflect that in the name.

kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread()
Unlike sys_clone(), these helpers have only in kernel users which should
pass the correct "flags" argument. lower_32_bits(flags) just adds the
unnecessary confusion and doesn't allow to use the CLONE_ flags which
don't fit into 32 bits.
create_io_thread() looks especially confusing because:
- "flags" is a compile-time constant, so lower_32_bits() simply
has no effect
- .exit_signal = (lower_32_bits(flags) & CSIGNAL) is harmless but
doesn't look right, copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) will ignore this
argument anyway.
None of these helpers actually need CLONE_UNTRACED or "& ~CSIGNAL", but
their presence does not add any confusion and improves code clarity.

As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field,
convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which
will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing
mm_struct flags.
No functional change intended.

We now need to account for flag initialisation on fork. We retain the
existing logic as much as we can, but dub the existing flag mask legacy.
These flags are therefore required to fit in the first 32-bits of the
flags field.
However, further flag propagation upon fork can be implemented in
mm_init() on a per-flag basis.
We ensure we clear the entire bitmap prior to setting it, and use
__mm_flags_get_word() and __mm_flags_set_word() to manipulate these legacy
fields efficiently.

to cgroup.procs
The static usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling controllers,
and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP doesn't require write
locking cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus doesn't benefit from this
patch.
To avoid affecting other users, the per threadgroup rwsem is only used
when the favordynmods is enabled.
As computer hardware advances, modern systems are typically equipped
with many CPU cores and large amounts of memory, enabling the deployment
of numerous applications. On such systems, container creation and
deletion become frequent operations, making cgroup process migration no
longer a cold path. This leads to noticeable contention with common
process operations such as fork, exec, and exit.
To alleviate the contention between cgroup process migration and
operations like process fork, this patch modifies lock to take the write
lock on signal_struct->group_rwsem when writing pid to
cgroup.procs/threads instead of holding a global write lock.
Cgroup process migration has historically relied on
signal_struct->group_rwsem to protect thread group integrity. In commit
<1ed1328792ff> ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem"), this was changed to a global
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. The advantage of using a global lock was
simplified handling of process group migrations. This patch retains the
use of the global lock for protecting process group migration, while
reducing contention by using per thread group lock during
cgroup.procs/threads writes.
The locking behavior is as follows:
write cgroup.procs/threads | process fork,exec,exit | process group migration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgroup_lock() | down_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_lock()
down_write(&p_rwsem) | down_read(&p_rwsem) | down_write(&g_rwsem)
critical section | critical section | critical section
up_write(&p_rwsem) | up_read(&p_rwsem) | up_write(&g_rwsem)
cgroup_unlock() | up_read(&g_rwsem) | cgroup_unlock()
g_rwsem denotes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem, p_rwsem denotes
signal_struct->group_rwsem.
This patch eliminates contention between cgroup migration and fork
operations for threads that belong to different thread groups, thereby
reducing the long-tail latency of cgroup migrations and lowering system
load.
With this patch, under heavy fork and exec interference, the long-tail
latency of cgroup migration has been reduced from milliseconds to
microseconds. Under heavy cgroup migration interference, the multi-CPU
score of the spawn test case in UnixBench increased by 9%.

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit. However, the signature of the copy_*
helper functions (e.g., copy_sighand) used by copy_process was not
adapted.
As such, they truncate the flags on any 32-bit architectures that
supports clone3 (arc, arm, csky, m68k, microblaze, mips32, openrisc,
parisc32, powerpc32, riscv32, x86-32 and xtensa).
For copy_sighand with CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND being an actual u64
constant, this triggers an observable bug in kernel selftest
clone3_clear_sighand:
if (clone_flags & CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND)
in function copy_sighand within fork.c will always fail given:
unsigned long /* == uint32_t */ clone_flags
#define CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND 0x100000000ULL
This commit fixes the bug by always passing clone_flags to copy_sighand
via their declared u64 type, invariant of architecture-dependent integer
sizes.

To avoid a memory leak via mm_alloc() + mmdrop() the futex cleanup code
has been moved to __mmdrop(). This resulted in a warnings if the futex
hash table has been allocated via vmalloc() the mmdrop() was invoked
from atomic context.
The free path must stay in __mmput() to ensure it is invoked from
preemptible context.
In order to avoid the memory leak, delay the allocation of
mm_struct::mm->futex_ref to futex_hash_allocate(). This works because
neither the per-CPU counter nor the private hash has been allocated and
therefore
- futex_private_hash() callers (such as exit_pi_state_list()) don't
acquire reference if there is no private hash yet. There is also no
reference put.
- Regular callers (futex_hash()) fallback to global hash. No reference
counting here.
The futex_ref member can be allocated in futex_hash_allocate() before
the private hash itself is allocated. This happens either while the
first thread is created or on request. In both cases the process has
just a single thread so there can be either futex operation in progress
or the request to create a private hash.
Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput();
Move the allocation of mm_struct::futex_ref to futex_hash_allocate().

Adding support to add special mapping for user space trampoline with
following functions:
uprobe_trampoline_get - find or add uprobe_trampoline
uprobe_trampoline_put - remove or destroy uprobe_trampoline
The user space trampoline is exported as arch specific user space special
mapping through tramp_mapping, which is initialized in following changes
with new uprobe syscall.
The uprobe trampoline needs to be callable/reachable from the probed address,
so while searching for available address we use is_reachable_by_call function
to decide if the uprobe trampoline is callable from the probe address.
All uprobe_trampoline objects are stored in uprobes_state object and are
cleaned up when the process mm_struct goes down. Adding new arch hooks
for that, because this change is x86_64 specific.
Locking is provided by callers in following changes.

Futex hash allocations are done in mm_init() and the cleanup happens in
__mmput(). That works most of the time, but there are mm instances which
are instantiated via mm_alloc() and freed via mmdrop(), which causes the
futex hash to be leaked.
Move the cleanup to __mmdrop().

- The s390 work [4]
- The perf work [5]
- The ftrace work [6]
- The sframe work [7]
And more is on the way.
The core infrastructure adds the following in kernel APIs:
- int unwind_user_faultable(struct unwind_stacktrace *trace);
Performs a user space stack trace that may fault user pages in.
- int unwind_deferred_init(struct unwind_work *work, unwind_callback_t func);
Allows a tracer to register with the unwind deferred
infrastructure.
- int unwind_deferred_request(struct unwind_work *work, u64 *cookie);
Used when a tracer request a deferred trace. Can be called from
interrupt or NMI context.
- void unwind_deferred_cancel(struct unwind_work *work);
Called by a tracer to unregister from the deferred unwind
infrastructure.
- void unwind_deferred_task_exit(struct task_struct *task);
Called by task exit code to flush any pending unwind requests.
- void unwind_task_init(struct task_struct *task);
Called by do_fork() to initialize the task struct for the
deferred unwinder.
- void unwind_task_free(struct task_struct *task);
Called by do_exit() to free up any resources used by the
deferred unwinder.

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application
Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have
unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page
faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority
inheritance.
However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these
real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate
as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to
understand, and error-prone.
For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable.
The LTL is more concise and intuitive.
- Make printk_deferred() public
The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them
visible for the entire kernel.
- Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic.
- Add rtapp container monitor.
A collection of monitors that check for common problems with
real-time applications that cause unexpected latency.
- Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v
These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on
risc-v.
- Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks.
- Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM
- Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns
- Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file
- Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0
- Update and add new sched collection monitors
Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts:
Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling
needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler
disables interrupts to (optionally) switch.
New monitor: nrp
Preemption requires need resched which is cleared by any switch
(includes a non optimal workaround for /nested/ preemptions)
New monitor: sssw
suspension requires setting the task to sleepable and, after the
switch occurs, the task requires a wakeup to come back to runnable
New monitor: opid
waking and need-resched operations occur with interrupts and
preemption disabled or in IRQ without explicitly disabling
preemption"

This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective
subsystems. Only 5 (out of the original 50) will remain in

variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain
control over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and
reducing the likelihood of merge conflicts.

Add a new API to retrieve a user space callstack called
unwind_user_faultable(). The difference between this user space stack
tracer from the current user space stack tracer is that this must be
called from faultable context as it may use routines to access user space
data that needs to be faulted in.
It can be safely called from entering or exiting a system call as the code
can still be faulted in there.
This code is based on work by Josh Poimboeuf's deferred unwinding code:

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:
- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

Track the blocked-on relation for mutexes, to allow following this
relation at schedule time.
task
| blocked-on
v
mutex
| owner
v
task
This all will be used for tracking blocked-task/mutex chains
with the prox-execution patch in a similar fashion to how
priority inheritance is done with rt_mutexes.
For serialization, blocked-on is only set by the task itself
(current). And both when setting or clearing (potentially by
others), is done while holding the mutex::wait_lock.

The use of rcuref_t for reference counting introduces a performance bottleneck
when accessed concurrently by multiple threads during futex operations.
Replace rcuref_t with special crafted per-CPU reference counters. The
lifetime logic remains the same.
The newly allocate private hash starts in FR_PERCPU state. In this state, each
futex operation that requires the private hash uses a per-CPU counter (an
unsigned int) for incrementing or decrementing the reference count.
When the private hash is about to be replaced, the per-CPU counters are
migrated to a atomic_t counter mm_struct::futex_atomic.
The migration process:
- Waiting for one RCU grace period to ensure all users observe the
current private hash. This can be skipped if a grace period elapsed
since the private hash was assigned.
- futex_private_hash::state is set to FR_ATOMIC, forcing all users to
use mm_struct::futex_atomic for reference counting.
- After a RCU grace period, all users are guaranteed to be using the
atomic counter. The per-CPU counters can now be summed up and added to
the atomic_t counter. If the resulting count is zero, the hash can be
safely replaced. Otherwise, active users still hold a valid reference.
- Once the atomic reference count drops to zero, the next futex
operation will switch to the new private hash.
call_rcu_hurry() is used to speed up transition which otherwise might be
delay with RCU_LAZY. There is nothing wrong with using call_rcu(). The
side effects would be that on auto scaling the new hash is used later
and the SET_SLOTS prctl() will block longer.
