====================
From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>
The commit bc235cdb42 ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")
added deadlock detection to avoid a tracing program from recurring
on the bpf_task_storage_{get,delete}() helpers. These helpers acquire
a spin lock and it will lead to deadlock.
It is unnecessary for the bpf_lsm and bpf_iter programs which do
not recur. The situation is the same as the existing
bpf_pid_task_storage_{lookup,delete}_elem() which are
used in the syscall and they also do not have deadlock detection.
This set is to add new bpf_task_storage_{get,delete}() helper proto
without the deadlock detection. The set also removes the prog->active
check from the bpf_lsm and bpf_iter program. Please see the individual
patch for details.

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.
