bpf: Wait for busy refill_work when destroying bpf memory allocator
A busy irq work is an unfinished irq work and it can be either in the pending state or in the running state. When destroying bpf memory allocator, refill_work may be busy for PREEMPT_RT kernel in which irq work is invoked in a per-CPU RT-kthread. It is also possible for kernel with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() being false (e.g. 1-cpu arm32 host or mips) and irq work is inovked in timer interrupt. The busy refill_work leads to various issues. The obvious one is that there will be concurrent operations on free_by_rcu and free_list between irq work and memory draining. Another one is call_rcu_in_progress will not be reliable for the checking of pending RCU callback because do_call_rcu() may have not been invoked by irq work yet. The other is there will be use-after-free if irq work is freed before the callback of irq work is invoked as shown below: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page PGD 12ab94067 P4D 12ab94067 PUD 1796b4067 PMD 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP CPU: 5 PID: 64 Comm: irq_work/5 Not tainted 6.0.0-rt11+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) RIP: 0010:0x0 Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.
