This patch uses bpf_mem_alloc for the task and cgroup local storage that the bpf prog can easily get a hold of the storage owner's PTR_TO_BTF_ID. eg. bpf_get_current_task_btf() can be used in some of the kmalloc code path which will cause deadlock/recursion. bpf_mem_cache_alloc is deadlock free and will solve a legit use case in [1]. For sk storage, its batch creation benchmark shows a few percent regression when the sk create/destroy batch size is larger than 32. The sk creation/destruction happens much more often and depends on external traffic. Considering it is hypothetical to be able to cause deadlock with sk storage, it can cross the bridge to use bpf_mem_alloc till a legit (ie. useful) use case comes up. For inode storage, bpf_local_storage_destroy() is called before waiting for a rcu gp and its memory cannot be reused immediately. inode stays with kmalloc/kfree after the rcu [or tasks_trace] gp. A 'bool bpf_ma' argument is added to bpf_local_storage_map_alloc(). Only task and cgroup storage have 'bpf_ma == true' which means to use bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free(). This patch only changes selem to use bpf_mem_alloc for task and cgroup. The next patch will change the local_storage to use bpf_mem_alloc also for task and cgroup. Here is some more details on the changes: * memory allocation: After bpf_mem_cache_alloc(), the SDATA(selem)->data is zero-ed because bpf_mem_cache_alloc() could return a reused selem. It is to keep the existing bpf_map_kzalloc() behavior. Only SDATA(selem)->data is zero-ed. SDATA(selem)->data is the visible part to the bpf prog. No need to use zero_map_value() to do the zeroing because bpf_selem_free(..., reuse_now = true) ensures no bpf prog is using the selem before returning the selem through bpf_mem_cache_free(). For the internal fields of selem, they will be initialized when linking to the new smap and the new local_storage. When 'bpf_ma == false', nothing changes in this patch. It will stay with the bpf_map_kzalloc(). * memory free: The bpf_selem_free() and bpf_selem_free_rcu() are modified to handle the bpf_ma == true case. For the common selem free path where its owner is also being destroyed, the mem is freed in bpf_local_storage_destroy(), the owner (task and cgroup) has gone through a rcu gp. The memory can be reused immediately, so bpf_local_storage_destroy() will call bpf_selem_free(..., reuse_now = true) which will do bpf_mem_cache_free() for immediate reuse consideration. An exception is the delete elem code path. The delete elem code path is called from the helper bpf_*_storage_delete() and the syscall bpf_map_delete_elem(). This path is an unusual case for local storage because the common use case is to have the local storage staying with its owner life time so that the bpf prog and the user space does not have to monitor the owner's destruction. For the delete elem path, the selem cannot be reused immediately because there could be bpf prog using it. It will call bpf_selem_free(..., reuse_now = false) and it will wait for a rcu tasks trace gp before freeing the elem. The rcu callback is changed to do bpf_mem_cache_raw_free() instead of kfree(). When 'bpf_ma == false', it should be the same as before. __bpf_selem_free() is added to do the kfree_rcu and call_tasks_trace_rcu(). A few words on the 'reuse_now == true'. When 'reuse_now == true', it is still racing with bpf_local_storage_map_free which is under rcu protection, so it still needs to wait for a rcu gp instead of kfree(). Otherwise, the selem may be reused by slab for a totally different struct while the bpf_local_storage_map_free() is still using it (as a rcu reader). For the inode case, there may be other rcu readers also. In short, when bpf_ma == false and reuse_now == true => vanilla rcu.

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.
