Currently, we use bucket_lock when traversing bpf_sk_storage_map
elements. Since bpf_iter programs cannot use bpf_sk_storage_get()
and bpf_sk_storage_delete() helpers which may also grab bucket lock,
we do not have a deadlock issue which exists for hashmap when
using bucket_lock ([1]).

If a bucket contains a lot of sockets, during bpf_iter traversing
a bucket, concurrent bpf_sk_storage_{get,delete}() may experience
some undesirable delays. Using rcu_read_lock() is a reasonable
compromise here. Although it may lose some precision, e.g.,
access stale sockets, but it will not hurt performance of other
bpf programs.

Sparse is not happy about it. Could you add some annotations, perhaps?

include/linux/rcupdate.h:686:9: warning: context imbalance in 'bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_find_next' - unexpected unlock
include/linux/rcupdate.h:686:9: warning: context imbalance in 'bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_stop' - unexpected unlock

Okay, I will try.

On my system, sparse is unhappy and core dumped....

I think you need to build from source, sadly :(

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm//devel/sparse/sparse.git

Indeed, building sparse from source works. After adding some __releases(RCU) and __acquires(RCU), I now have: context imbalance in 'bpf_sk_storage_map_seq_find_next' - different lock contexts for basic block
I may need to restructure code to please sparse...
