The thing is that recent_mt_destroy first flushes the entries from table with the recent_table_flush and only *after* this removes the proc file, corresponding to that table. Thus, if we manage to write to this file the '+XXX' command we will leak some entries. If we manage to write there a 'clean' command we'll race in two recent_table_flush flows, since the recent_mt_destroy calls this outside the recent_lock. The proper solution as I see it is to remove the proc file first and then go on with flushing the table. This flushing becomes safe w/o the lock, since the table is already inaccessible from the outside.
