syzbot found the following issue on:
  <SNIP>
Fixes: eac87c413bf9 ("net: openvswitch: reorder masks array based on 
usage")
by moving cancel_delayed_work_sync() in to the rcu cb, therefore out 
of ovs
lock. To facilitate that, add a flag in datapath to inform the kworker 
that
there is no more work needed.
I was thinking of re-working the patch and move the handling to the 
“struct ovs_net” instead of the datapath. This way the rebalance 
worker can rebalance all datapaths in the netns. Than I can move 
cancel_delayed_work_sync() from __dp_destroy()
to ovs_exit_net(), i.e. outside the ovs lock scope.

However, your fix would be way less intrusive. Are you planning on 
sending it as a patch? If so, maybe add a comment around the called_rcu 
variable to be more clear where it’s used for, or maybe rename it to 
something like called_destory_rcu?

If you think my approach would be better let me know, and I work on a 
patch.

Feedback anyone?
