Yonghong Song cf28f3bbfc bpf: Use get_file_rcu() instead of get_file() for task_file iterator
With latest `bpftool prog` command, we observed the following kernel
panic.

After further analysis, the bug is triggered by
Commit eaaacd2391 ("bpf: Add task and task/file iterator targets")
which introduced task_file bpf iterator, which traverses all open file
descriptors for all tasks in the current namespace.
The latest `bpftool prog` calls a task_file bpf program to traverse
all files in the system in order to associate processes with progs/maps, etc.
When traversing files for a given task, rcu read_lock is taken to
access all files in a file_struct. But it used get_file() to grab
a file, which is not right. It is possible file->f_count is 0 and
get_file() will unconditionally increase it.
Later put_file() may cause all kind of issues with the above
as one of sympotoms.

The failure can be reproduced with the following steps in a few seconds:
    $ cat t.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    #define N 10000
    int fd[N];
    int main() {
      int i;

      for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        fd[i] = open("./note.txt", 'r');
        if (fd[i] < 0) {
           fprintf(stderr, "failed\n");
           return -1;
        }
      }
      for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
        close(fd[i]);

      return 0;
    }
    $ gcc -O2 t.c
    $ cat run.sh
    #/bin/bash
    for i in {1..100}
    do
      while true; do ./a.out; done &
    done
    $ ./run.sh
    $ while true; do bpftool prog >& /dev/null; done

This patch used get_file_rcu() which only grabs a file if the
file->f_count is not zero. This is to ensure the file pointer
is always valid. The above reproducer did not fail for more
than 30 minutes.

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.
