[patch V2 14/20] bpf: Use migrate_disable() in hashtab code

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Feb 20 2020 - 15:57:08 EST


The required protection is that the caller cannot be migrated to a
different CPU as these places take either a hash bucket lock or might
trigger a kprobe inside the memory allocator. Both scenarios can lead to
deadlocks. The deadlock prevention is per CPU by incrementing a per CPU
variable which temporarily blocks the invocation of BPF programs from perf
and kprobes.

Replace the preempt_disable/enable() pairs with migrate_disable/enable()
pairs to prepare BPF to work on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. On a non-RT
kernel this maps to preempt_disable/enable(), i.e. no functional change.
