Song Liu 39d8f0d102 bpf: Use raw_spin_trylock() for pcpu_freelist_push/pop in NMI
Recent improvements in LOCKDEP highlighted a potential A-A deadlock with
pcpu_freelist in NMI:

This is because pcpu_freelist_head.lock is accessed in both NMI and
non-NMI context. Fix this issue by using raw_spin_trylock() in NMI.

Since NMI interrupts non-NMI context, when NMI context tries to lock the
raw_spinlock, non-NMI context of the same CPU may already have locked a
lock and is blocked from unlocking the lock. For a system with N CPUs,
there could be N NMIs at the same time, and they may block N non-NMI
raw_spinlocks. This is tricky for pcpu_freelist_push(), where unlike
_pop(), failing _push() means leaking memory. This issue is more likely to
trigger in non-SMP system.

Fix this issue with an extra list, pcpu_freelist.extralist. The extralist
is primarily used to take _push() when raw_spin_trylock() failed on all
the per CPU lists. It should be empty most of the time. The following
table summarizes the behavior of pcpu_freelist in NMI and non-NMI:

non-NMI pop(): 	use _lock(); check per CPU lists first;
                if all per CPU lists are empty, check extralist;
                if extralist is empty, return NULL.

non-NMI push(): use _lock(); only push to per CPU lists.

NMI pop():    use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
              if all per CPU lists are locked or empty, check extralist;
              if extralist is locked or empty, return NULL.

NMI push():   use _trylock(); check per CPU lists first;
              if all per CPU lists are locked; try push to extralist;
              if extralist is also locked, keep trying on per CPU lists.

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.
