The old map's bucket locks are being unlocked *after* that same old map has been passed to RCU for destruction. This is a bug that can cause a segfault, since there's no guarantee that the deletion will be deferred (e.g. there may be no concurrent readers). The segfault is easily triggered in RHEL6/CentOS6 with qht-test, particularly on a single-core system or by pinning qht-test to a single core. Fix it by unlocking the map's bucket locks right after having published the new map, and (crucially) before marking the map for deletion via call_rcu(). While at it, expand qht_do_resize() to atomically do (1) a reset, (2) a resize, or (3) a reset+resize. This simplifies the calling code, since the new function (qht_do_resize_reset()) acquires and releases the buckets' locks. Note that no qht_do_reset inline is provided, since it would have no users--qht_reset() already performs a reset without taking ht->lock. Reported-by:
