This patch adds a runnable version of one of the races described by
Kumar in [0]. Specifically, this interleaving:
(rbtree1 and list head protected by lock1, rbtree2 protected by lock2)
Prog A Prog B
======================================
n = bpf_obj_new(...)
m = bpf_refcount_acquire(n)
kptr_xchg(map, m)
m = kptr_xchg(map, NULL)
lock(lock2)
bpf_rbtree_add(rbtree2, m->r, less)
unlock(lock2)
lock(lock1)
bpf_list_push_back(head, n->l)
/* make n non-owning ref */
bpf_rbtree_remove(rbtree1, n->r)
unlock(lock1)
The above interleaving, the node's struct bpf_rb_node *r can be used to
add it to either rbtree1 or rbtree2, which are protected by different
locks. If the node has been added to rbtree2, we should not be allowed
to remove it while holding rbtree1's lock.
Before changes in the previous patch in this series, the rbtree_remove
in the second part of Prog A would succeed as the verifier has no way of
knowing which tree owns a particular node at verification time. The
addition of 'owner' field results in bpf_rbtree_remove correctly
failing.
The test added in this patch splits "Prog A" above into two separate BPF
programs - A1 and A2 - and uses a second mapval + kptr_xchg to pass n
from A1 to A2 similarly to the pass from A1 to B. If the test is run
without the fix applied, the remove will succeed.
Kumar's example had the two programs running on separate CPUs. This
patch doesn't do this as it's not necessary to exercise the broken
behavior / validate fixed behavior.

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.
