Jiri Olsa reported a bug ([1]) in kernel where cgroup local
storage pointer may be NULL in bpf_get_local_storage() helper.
There are two issues uncovered by this bug:
(1). kprobe or tracepoint prog incorrectly sets cgroup local storage
before prog run,
(2). due to change from preempt_disable to migrate_disable,
preemption is possible and percpu storage might be overwritten
by other tasks.
This issue (1) is fixed in [2]. This patch tried to address issue (2).
The following shows how things can go wrong:
task 1: bpf_cgroup_storage_set() for percpu local storage
preemption happens
task 2: bpf_cgroup_storage_set() for percpu local storage
preemption happens
task 1: run bpf program
task 1 will effectively use the percpu local storage setting by task 2
which will be either NULL or incorrect ones.
Instead of just one common local storage per cpu, this patch fixed
the issue by permitting 8 local storages per cpu and each local
storage is identified by a task_struct pointer. This way, we
allow at most 8 nested preemption between bpf_cgroup_storage_set()
and bpf_cgroup_storage_unset(). The percpu local storage slot
is released (calling bpf_cgroup_storage_unset()) by the same task
after bpf program finished running.
bpf_test_run() is also fixed to use the new bpf_cgroup_storage_set()
interface.
The patch is tested on top of [2] with reproducer in [1].
Without this patch, kernel will emit error in 2-3 minutes.
With this patch, after one hour, still no error.

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.
