Which map does the reproducer create? And where exactly do those work block on? Different map->ops->map_free() waits for different reasons, for example, htab_map_free() waits for flying htab_elem_free_rcu(). I can't immediately see how they could wait for each other, if this is what you meant above. Thanks.
