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?
