Subject: bpf: Do not use bucket_lock for hashmap iterator
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc7
Git-commit: dc0988bbe1bd41e2fa555e4a6f890b819a34b49b
References: bsc#1177028

Currently, for hashmap, the bpf iterator will grab a bucket lock, a
spinlock, before traversing the elements in the bucket. This can ensure
all bpf visted elements are valid. But this mechanism may cause
deadlock if update/deletion happens to the same bucket of the
visited map in the program. For example, if we added bpf_map_update_elem()
call to the same visited element in selftests bpf_iter_bpf_hash_map.c,
we will have the following deadlock:

  ============================================
  WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  5.9.0-rc1+ #841 Not tainted
  --------------------------------------------
  test_progs/1750 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffff9a5bb73c5e70 (&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: htab_map_update_elem+0x1cf/0x410

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffff9a5bb73c5e20 (&htab->buckets[i].raw_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: bpf_hash_map_seq_find_next+0x94/0x120

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

The bucket_lock first grabbed in seq_ops->next() called by bpf_seq_read(),
and then grabbed again in htab_map_update_elem() in the bpf program, causing
deadlocks.

Actually, we do not need bucket_lock here, we can just use rcu_read_lock()
similar to netlink iterator where the rcu_read_{lock,unlock} likes below:
 seq_ops->start():
     rcu_read_lock();
 seq_ops->next():
     rcu_read_unlock();
     /* next element */
     rcu_read_lock();
 seq_ops->stop();
     rcu_read_unlock();

Compared to old bucket_lock mechanism, if concurrent updata/delete happens,
we may visit stale elements, miss some elements, or repeat some elements.
I think this is a reasonable compromise. For users wanting to avoid
stale, missing/repeated accesses, bpf_map batch access syscall interface
can be used.
