Occasionally, during the disconnection procedure on XenBus which includes hash cache deinitialization there might be some packets still in-flight on other processors. Handling of these packets includes hashing and hash cache population that finally results in hash cache data structure corruption. In order to avoid this we prevent hashing of those packets if there are no queues initialized. In that case RCU protection of queues guards the hash cache as well.

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.
