bpf: Fix a race condition between btf_put() and map_free()
[ Upstream commit 59e5791f59dd83e8aa72a4e74217eabb6e8cfd90 ]
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.

Hao also provided test cases ([1]) for easily reproducing the above issue.
There are two ways to fix the issue, the v1 of the patch ([2]) moving
btf_put() after map_free callback, and the v5 of the patch ([3]) using
a kptr style fix which tries to get a btf reference during
map_check_btf(). Each approach has its pro and cons. The first approach
delays freeing btf while the second approach needs to acquire reference
depending on context which makes logic not very elegant and may
complicate things with future new data structures. Alexei
suggested in [4] going back to v1 which is what this patch
tries to do.
Rerun './test_progs -j' with the above mdelay() hack for a couple
of times and didn't observe the error for the above rb_root test cases.
Running Hou's test ([1]) is also successful.
