When running `./test_progs -j` in my local vm with latest kernel,
I once hit a kasan error like below:

So the problem is at rec->refcount_off in the above.
I did some source code analysis and find the reason.
CPU A CPU B
bpf_map_put:
...
btf_put with rcu callback
...
bpf_map_free_deferred
with system_unbound_wq
... ... ...
... btf_free_rcu: ...
... ... bpf_map_free_deferred:
... ...
... ---------> btf_struct_metas_free()
... | race condition ...
... ---------> map->ops->map_free()
...
... btf->struct_meta_tab = NULL
In the above, map_free() corresponds to array_map_free() and eventually
calling bpf_rb_root_free() which calls:
...
__bpf_obj_drop_impl(obj, field->graph_root.value_rec, false);
...
Here, 'value_rec' is assigned in btf_check_and_fixup_fields() with following code:
meta = btf_find_struct_meta(btf, btf_id);
if (!meta)
return -EFAULT;
rec->fields[i].graph_root.value_rec = meta->record;
So basically, 'value_rec' is a pointer to the record in struct_metas_tab.
And it is possible that that particular record has been freed by
btf_struct_metas_free() and hence we have a kasan error here.
Actually it is very hard to reproduce the failure with current bpf/bpf-next
code, I only got the above error once. To increase reproducibility, I added
a delay in bpf_map_free_deferred() to delay map->ops->map_free(), which
significantly increased reproducibility.

/* implementation dependent freeing */
To fix the problem, we need to have a reference on btf in order to
safeguard accessing field->graph_root.value_rec in map->ops->map_free().
The function btf_parse_graph_root() is the place to get a btf reference.
The following are rough call stacks reaching bpf_parse_graph_root():
btf_parse
...
btf_parse_fields
...
btf_parse_graph_root
map_check_btf
btf_parse_fields
...
btf_parse_graph_root
Looking at the above call stack, the btf_parse_graph_root() is indirectly
called from btf_parse() or map_check_btf().
We cannot take a reference in btf_parse() case since at that moment,
btf is still in the middle to self-validation and initial reference
(refcount_set(&btf->refcnt, 1)) has not been triggered yet.
But even if refcount_set() is moved earlier, taking reference
will have other issues at btf_put() stage.
btf_put <== to start destruction process unless refcount == 0
...
btf_record_free <== in which if graph_root, a btf reference will be hold
<== reference is taken during btf_parse()
In order to free the reference taken during btf_parse(), we need to
have refcount 0 in btf_put(), but this is impossible since we need to
free the reference taken during btf_parse() in order to get refcount 0
for btf_put(). So the end result is btf_put() will not be able to
free btf-related memories and we have memory leak here.
Luckily, there is no need to take a btf reference during btf_parse()
since eventually graph_root.value_rec will refer to the rec in btf
struct_meta_tab.
But we do need to take a reference for map_check_btf() case as
the value_rec refers to a record in struct_meta_tab and we want
to make sure btf is not freed until value_rec usage at map_free
is done.
So the fix is to get a btf reference for map_check_btf() case
whenever a graph_root is found. A boolean field 'has_btf_ref' is added to
struct btf_field_graph_root so later the btf reference can be properly
released.
Rerun './test_progs -j' with the above mdelay() hack for a couple
of times and didn't observe the error.
Running Hou's test ([1]) is also successful.
