Nft hash sets are unable to expand past the initial # of buckets. This is b/c nft hash sets don't define the max_shift parameter and so rht_grow_above_75():
return atomic_read(&ht->nelems) > (new_size / 4 * 3) &&
(ht->p.max_shift && atomic_read(&ht->shift) < ht->p.max_shift);
can't return true.
It's not clear to me if this is intentional; requiring users of rhashtables define a max_shift in order to support expansion, or a bug in the grow decision function?
Here's a possible fix if it's the latter. Let me know and I can submit something formal if that's the case.
