Merge branch 'bpf: Avoid unnecessary deadlock detection and failure in task storage'
Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org> The commit bc235cdb ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]") added deadlock detection to avoid a tracing program from recurring on the bpf_task_storage_{get,delete}() helpers. These helpers acquire a spin lock and it will lead to deadlock. It is unnecessary for the bpf_lsm and bpf_iter programs which do not recur. The situation is the same as the existing bpf_pid_task_storage_{lookup,delete}_elem() which are used in the syscall and they also do not have deadlock detection. This set is to add new bpf_task_storage_{get,delete}() helper proto without the deadlock detection. The set also removes the prog->active check from the bpf_lsm and bpf_iter program. Please see the individual patch for details. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
