Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 401cb7dae8 net: Reference bpf_redirect_info via task_struct on PREEMPT_RT.
The XDP redirect process is two staged:
- bpf_prog_run_xdp() is invoked to run a eBPF program which inspects the
  packet and makes decisions. While doing that, the per-CPU variable
  bpf_redirect_info is used.

- Afterwards xdp_do_redirect() is invoked and accesses bpf_redirect_info
  and it may also access other per-CPU variables like xskmap_flush_list.

At the very end of the NAPI callback, xdp_do_flush() is invoked which
does not access bpf_redirect_info but will touch the individual per-CPU
lists.

The per-CPU variables are only used in the NAPI callback hence disabling
bottom halves is the only protection mechanism. Users from preemptible
context (like cpu_map_kthread_run()) explicitly disable bottom halves
for protections reasons.
Without locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure
requires explicit locking.

PREEMPT_RT has forced-threaded interrupts enabled and every
NAPI-callback runs in a thread. If each thread has its own data
structure then locking can be avoided.

Create a struct bpf_net_context which contains struct bpf_redirect_info.
Define the variable on stack, use bpf_net_ctx_set() to save a pointer to
it, bpf_net_ctx_clear() removes it again.
The bpf_net_ctx_set() may nest. For instance a function can be used from
within NET_RX_SOFTIRQ/ net_rx_action which uses bpf_net_ctx_set() and
NET_TX_SOFTIRQ which does not. Therefore only the first invocations
updates the pointer.
Use bpf_net_ctx_get_ri() as a wrapper to retrieve the current struct
bpf_redirect_info. The returned data structure is zero initialized to
ensure nothing is leaked from stack. This is done on first usage of the
struct. bpf_net_ctx_set() sets bpf_redirect_info::kern_flags to 0 to
note that initialisation is required. First invocation of
bpf_net_ctx_get_ri() will memset() the data structure and update
bpf_redirect_info::kern_flags.
bpf_redirect_info::nh is excluded from memset because it is only used
once BPF_F_NEIGH is set which also sets the nh member. The kern_flags is
moved past nh to exclude it from memset.

The pointer to bpf_net_context is saved task's task_struct. Using
always the bpf_net_context approach has the advantage that there is
almost zero differences between PREEMPT_RT and non-PREEMPT_RT builds.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
