Commit 9bb00b2895 ("bpf: Add kfunc bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock()")
introduced MEM_RCU and bpf_rcu_read_lock/unlock() support. In that
commit, a rcu pointer is tagged with both MEM_RCU and PTR_TRUSTED
so that it can be passed into kfuncs or helpers as an argument.
Martin raised a good question in [1] such that the rcu pointer,
although being able to accessing the object, might have reference
count of 0. This might cause a problem if the rcu pointer is passed
to a kfunc which expects trusted arguments where ref count should
be greater than 0.
This patch makes the following changes related to MEM_RCU pointer:
- MEM_RCU pointer might be NULL (PTR_MAYBE_NULL).
- Introduce KF_RCU so MEM_RCU ptr can be acquired with
a KF_RCU tagged kfunc which assumes ref count of rcu ptr
could be zero.
- For mem access 'b = ptr->a', say 'ptr' is a MEM_RCU ptr, and
'a' is tagged with __rcu as well. Let us mark 'b' as
MEM_RCU | PTR_MAYBE_NULL.
