bpf_task_storage_get() does a lookup and optionally inserts new data if BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE is present. During lookup, it will cache the lookup result and caching requires to acquire a spinlock. When potential deadlock is detected (by the bpf_task_storage_busy pcpu-counter added in commit bc235cdb ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")), the current behavior is returning NULL immediately to avoid deadlock. It is too pessimistic. This patch will go ahead to do a lookup (which is a lockless operation) but it will avoid caching it in order to avoid acquiring the spinlock. When lookup fails to find the data and BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE is set, an insertion is needed and this requires acquiring a spinlock. This patch will still return NULL when a potential deadlock is detected.
