Merge branch 'fixes for concurrent htab updates'
Hou Tao says: ==================== From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Hi, The patchset aims to fix the issues found during investigating the syzkaller problem reported in [0]. It seems that the concurrent updates to the same hash-table bucket may fail as shown in patch 1. Patch 1 uses preempt_disable() to fix the problem for htab_use_raw_lock() case. For !htab_use_raw_lock() case, the problem is left to "BPF specific memory allocator" patchset [1] in which !htab_use_raw_lock() will be removed. Patch 2 fixes the out-of-bound memory read problem reported in [0]. The problem has the root cause as patch 1 and it is fixed by handling -EBUSY from htab_lock_bucket() correctly. Patch 3 add two cases for hash-table update: one for the reentrancy of bpf_map_update_elem(), and another one for concurrent updates of the same hash-table bucket. Comments are always welcome.
