Per-cpu htab->map_locked is used to prohibit the concurrent accesses
from both NMI and non-NMI contexts. But since commit 74d862b682f5
("sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT"),
migrate_disable() is also preemptible under CONFIG_PREEMPT case, so now
map_locked also disallows concurrent updates from normal contexts
(e.g. userspace processes) unexpectedly as shown below:
process A process B
htab_map_update_elem()
htab_lock_bucket()
migrate_disable()
/* return 1 */
__this_cpu_inc_return()
/* preempted by B */
htab_map_update_elem()
/* the same bucket as A */
htab_lock_bucket()
migrate_disable()
/* return 2, so lock fails */
__this_cpu_inc_return()
return -EBUSY
A fix that seems feasible is using in_nmi() in htab_lock_bucket() and
only checking the value of map_locked for nmi context. But it will
re-introduce dead-lock on bucket lock if htab_lock_bucket() is re-entered
through non-tracing program (e.g. fentry program).
One cannot use preempt_disable() to fix this issue as htab_use_raw_lock
being false causes the bucket lock to be a spin lock which can sleep and
does not work with preempt_disable().
Therefore, use migrate_disable() when using the spinlock instead of
preempt_disable() and defer fixing concurrent updates to when the kernel
has its own BPF memory allocator.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
