Suppose a thread sharing the table started a resize, while sysctl_nr_open got lowered to a value which prohibits it. This is still going to go through with and without the patch, which is fine. Further suppose another thread shows up to do a matching expansion while resize_in_progress == true. It is going to error out since it performs the sysctl_nr_open check *before* finding out if there is an expansion in progress. But the aformentioned thread is going to succeded, so the error is spurious (and it would not happen if the thread showed up a little bit later). Checking the sysctl *after* we know there are no pending updates sorts it out. While here annotate the thing as unlikely.

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 reStructuredText 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.
