Hash rebuild will re-set all the inexact entries, then re-insert them.
Lookups that can occur in parallel will therefore not find any policies.
This was safe when lookups were still guarded by rwlock.
After rcu-ification, lookups check the hash_generation seqcount to detect
when a hash resize takes place. Hash rebuild missed the needed increment.
Hash resizes and hash rebuilds cannot occur in parallel (both acquire
hash_resize_mutex), so just increment xfrm_hash_generation, like resize.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
