kernfs: RCU protect kernfs_nodes and avoid kernfs_idr_lock in kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()
[ Upstream commit 4207b556e62f0a8915afc5da4c5d5ad915a253a5 ]
The BPF helper bpf_cgroup_from_id() calls kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()
which acquires kernfs_idr_lock, which is an non-raw non-IRQ-safe lock. This
can lead to deadlocks as bpf_cgroup_from_id() can be called from any BPF
programs including e.g. the ones that attach to functions which are holding
the scheduler rq lock.
Consider the following BPF program:
SEC("fentry/__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked")
int BPF_PROG(__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked, struct task_struct *p,
struct affinity_context *affn_ctx, struct rq *rq, struct rq_flags *rf)
{
struct cgroup *cgrp = bpf_cgroup_from_id(p->cgroups->dfl_cgrp->kn->id);
if (cgrp) {
bpf_printk("%d[%s] in %s", p->pid, p->comm, cgrp->kn->name);
bpf_cgroup_release(cgrp);
}
return 0;
}
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() is called with rq lock held and the above
BPF program calls bpf_cgroup_from_id() within leading to the following
lockdep warning:

Let's fix it by protecting kernfs_node and kernfs_root with RCU and making
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id() acquire rcu_read_lock() instead of
kernfs_idr_lock.
This adds an rcu_head to kernfs_node making it larger by 16 bytes on 64bit.
Combined with the preceding rearrange patch, the net increase is 8 bytes.
