This patch uses bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free for allocating and freeing bpf_local_storage for task and cgroup storage. The changes are similar to the previous patch. A few things that worth to mention for bpf_local_storage: The local_storage is freed when the last selem is deleted. Before deleting a selem from local_storage, it needs to retrieve the local_storage->smap because the bpf_selem_unlink_storage_nolock() may have set it to NULL. Note that local_storage->smap may have already been NULL when the selem created this local_storage has been removed. In this case, call_rcu will be used to free the local_storage. Also, the bpf_ma (true or false) value is needed before calling bpf_local_storage_free(). The bpf_ma can either be obtained from the local_storage->smap (if available) or any of its selem's smap. A new helper check_storage_bpf_ma() is added to obtain bpf_ma for a deleting bpf_local_storage. When bpf_local_storage_alloc getting a reused memory, all fields are either in the correct values or will be initialized. 'cache[]' must already be all NULLs. 'list' must be empty. Others will be initialized.

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.
