Yafang Shao 06a2fc1d1e net/cls_cgroup: Fix task_get_classid() during qdisc run 
[ Upstream commit 66048f8b3c ]

During recent testing with the netem qdisc to inject delays into TCP
traffic, we observed that our CLS BPF program failed to function correctly
due to incorrect classid retrieval from task_get_classid(). The issue
manifests in the following call stack:

        bpf_get_cgroup_classid+5
        cls_bpf_classify+507
        __tcf_classify+90
        tcf_classify+217

        bond_start_xmit+70
        dev_hard_start_xmit+142
        sch_direct_xmit+161
        __qdisc_run+102             <<<<< Issue location
        __dev_xmit_skb+1015
        __dev_queue_xmit+637
        neigh_hh_output+159
        ip_finish_output2+461
        __ip_finish_output+183
        ip_finish_output+41

        ip_queue_xmit+21

        tcp_sendmsg+45
        inet_sendmsg+67
        sock_sendmsg+98
        sock_write_iter+147
        vfs_write+786
        ksys_write+181
        __x64_sys_write+25
        do_syscall_64+56
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+100

The problem occurs when multiple tasks share a single qdisc. In such cases,
__qdisc_run() may transmit skbs created by different tasks. Consequently,
task_get_classid() retrieves an incorrect classid since it references the
current task's context rather than the skb's originating task.

Given that dev_queue_xmit() always executes with bh disabled, we can use
softirq_count() instead to obtain the correct classid.

The simple steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Add network delay to the network interface:
  such as: tc qdisc add dev bond0 root netem delay 1.5ms
2. Build two distinct net_cls cgroups, each with a network-intensive task
3. Initiate parallel TCP streams from both tasks to external servers.

Under this specific condition, the issue reliably occurs. The kernel
eventually dequeues an SKB that originated from Task-A while executing in
the context of Task-B.

It is worth noting that it will change the established behavior for a
slightly different scenario:

  <sock S is created by task A>
  <class ID for task A is changed>
  <skb is created by sock S xmit and classified>

prior to this patch the skb will be classified with the 'new' task A
classid, now with the old/original one. The bpf_get_cgroup_classid_curr()
function is a more appropriate choice for this case.

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.
