Subject: bpf: fix htab map destruction when extra reserve is in use
From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 483bed2b0ddd12ec33fc9407e0c6e1088e77a97c ]
Commit a6ed3ea65d98 ("bpf: restore behavior of bpf_map_update_elem")
added an extra per-cpu reserve to the hash table map to restore old
behaviour from pre prealloc times. When non-prealloc is in use for a
map, then problem is that once a hash table extra element has been
linked into the hash-table, and the hash table is destroyed due to
refcount dropping to zero, then htab_map_free() -> delete_all_elements()
will walk the whole hash table and drop all elements via htab_elem_free().
The problem is that the element from the extra reserve is first fed
to the wrong backend allocator and eventually freed twice.
