This is in fact very near some bugs you caught on rhashtable in the past few days/couple of weeks tops. I'm actually against this loop as is. I may have not been clear with Xin about not adding my signature to the patchset due to this. Please take a look at Xin's emails on thread 'rhashtable: Prevent spurious EBUSY errors on insertion' about this particular situation. Cc'ing Herbert as he wanted to see the patches for that issue.
