Andrea Righi c312828c37 kernfs: convert kernfs_idr_lock to an irq safe raw spinlock
bpf_cgroup_from_id() is basically a wrapper to cgroup_get_from_id(),
that is relying on kernfs to determine the right cgroup associated to
the target id.

As a kfunc, it has the potential to be attached to any function through
BPF, particularly in contexts where certain locks are held.

However, kernfs is not using an irq safe spinlock for kernfs_idr_lock,
that means any kernfs function that is acquiring this lock can be
interrupted and potentially hit bpf_cgroup_from_id() in the process,
triggering a deadlock.

For example, it is really easy to trigger a lockdep splat between
kernfs_idr_lock and rq->_lock, attaching a small BPF program to
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() that just calls bpf_cgroup_from_id():

 which would create a new lock dependency:

 other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(kernfs_idr_lock);
                                local_irq_disable();
                                lock(&rq->__lock);
                                lock(kernfs_idr_lock);
   <Interrupt>
     lock(&rq->__lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

Prevent this deadlock condition converting kernfs_idr_lock to a raw irq
safe spinlock.

The performance impact of this change should be negligible and it also
helps to prevent similar deadlock conditions with any other subsystems
that may depend on kernfs.

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.
