bpf: Annotate data races on bpf_lru_node type
KCSAN reports a data race on bpf_lru_node::type between the LRU list rotation and the free path of the common LRU: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __bpf_lru_list_rotate / bpf_lru_push_free write to 0xffff88811b758022 of 1 bytes by task 4756 on cpu 1: __bpf_lru_node_move __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active __bpf_lru_list_rotate bpf_lru_list_pop_free_to_local bpf_common_lru_pop_free bpf_lru_pop_free htab_lru_map_update_elem read to 0xffff88811b758022 of 1 bytes by task 4752 on cpu 0: bpf_lru_list_push_free bpf_common_lru_push_free bpf_lru_push_free htab_lru_push_free htab_lru_map_update_elem value changed: 0x00 -> 0x01 bpf_lru_list_push_free() reads node->type for a WARN_ON_ONCE() sanity check before taking l->lock. __bpf_lru_node_move(), called right after under l->lock, does the same check, so drop the unlocked one. bpf_common_lru_push_free() re-checks node->type under loc_l->lock after the lockless READ_ONCE() at function entry. By then the node has been removed from the htab, so only flush and rotate can change its type, through __bpf_lru_node_move_in() and __bpf_lru_node_move() under l->lock. Mark that re-check with READ_ONCE() and those two writers with WRITE_ONCE(), following commit 6df8fb83301d ("bpf_lru_list: Read double-checked variable once without lock"). The remaining writers operate on a node with a single owner that nobody else reads and are left alone. Tested on bpf-next with CONFIG_KCSAN=y in a 4-vCPU virtme-ng guest, using a reproducer that runs 8 threads issuing BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH on a 64-entry BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH with overlapping keys.
