Alexei Starovoitov 5fb750e8a9 bpf: Replace bpf_map_kmalloc_node() with kmalloc_nolock() to allocate bpf_async_cb structures.
The following kmemleak splat:

[    8.105530] kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xff11000100e918c0 as Black

[    8.106521]  bpf_prog_test_run_syscall+0xe1/0x2a0

happens due to the combination of features and fixes, but mainly due to
commit 6d78b4473c ("bpf: Tell memcg to use allow_spinning=false path in bpf_timer_init()")
It's using __GFP_HIGH, which instructs slub/kmemleak internals to skip
kmemleak_alloc_recursive() on allocation, so subsequent kfree_rcu()->
kvfree_call_rcu()->kmemleak_ignore() complains with the above splat.

To fix this imbalance, replace bpf_map_kmalloc_node() with
kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_rcu() with call_rcu() + kfree_nolock() to
make sure that the objects allocated with kmalloc_nolock() are freed
with kfree_nolock() rather than the implicit kfree() that kfree_rcu()
uses internally.

Note, the kmalloc_nolock() happens under bpf_spin_lock_irqsave(), so
it will always fail in PREEMPT_RT. This is not an issue at the moment,
since bpf_timers are disabled in PREEMPT_RT. In the future
bpf_spin_lock will be replaced with state machine similar to
bpf_task_work.

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.
