[ Upstream commit 5828b9e5b272ecff7cf5d345128d3de7324117f7 ]

list_next_entry() never returns NULL -- when the current element is the
last entry it wraps to the list head via container_of(). The subsequent
NULL check is therefore dead code and get_next_key() never returns
-ENOENT for the last element, instead reading storage-&gt;key from a bogus
pointer that aliases internal map fields and copying the result to
userspace.

Replace it with list_entry_is_head() so the function correctly returns
-ENOENT when there are no more entries.

Some of the bpf maps are created with __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. arraymap,
bloom_filter, bpf_local_storage, bpf_struct_ops, lpm_trie,
queue_stack_maps, reuseport_array, stackmap and xskmap, while others are
created without __GFP_NOWARN, i.e. cpumap, devmap, hashtab,
local_storage, offload, ringbuf and sock_map. But there are not key
differences between the creation of these maps. So let make this
allocation flag consistent in all bpf maps creation. Then we can use a
generic helper to alloc all bpf maps.

<title>bpf: Make non-preallocated allocation low priority</title>

<id>ace2bee839e08df324cb320763258dfd72e6120e</id>
<content type='text'>
GFP_ATOMIC doesn't cooperate well with memcg pressure so far, especially
if we allocate too much GFP_ATOMIC memory. For example, when we set the
memcg limit to limit a non-preallocated bpf memory, the GFP_ATOMIC can
easily break the memcg limit by force charge. So it is very dangerous to
use GFP_ATOMIC in non-preallocated case. One way to make it safe is to
remove __GFP_HIGH from GFP_ATOMIC, IOW, use (__GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) instead, then it will be limited if we allocate
too much memory. There's a plan to completely remove __GFP_ATOMIC in the
mm side[1], so let's use GFP_NOWAIT instead.

We introduced BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is because full map pre-allocation is
too memory expensive for some cases. That means removing __GFP_HIGH
doesn't break the rule of BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC, but has the same goal with
it-avoiding issues caused by too much memory. So let's remove it.

This fix can also apply to other run-time allocations, for example, the
allocation in lpm trie, local storage and devmap. So let fix it
consistently over the bpf code

It also fixes a typo in the comment.

For now, the field 'map_btf_id' in 'struct bpf_map_ops' for all map
types are computed during vmlinux-btf init:

  btf_parse_vmlinux() -&gt; btf_vmlinux_map_ids_init()

It will lookup the btf_type according to the 'map_btf_name' field in
'struct bpf_map_ops'. This process can be done during build time,
thanks to Jiri's resolve_btfids.

selftest of map_ptr has passed:

  $96 map_ptr:OK

Current max cgroup storage value size is 4k (PAGE_SIZE). The other local
storages accept up to 64k (BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_MAX_VALUE_SIZE). Let's align
max cgroup value size with the other storages.

For percpu, the max is 32k (PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE) because percpu
allocator is not happy about larger values.

netcnt test is extended to exercise those maximum values
(non-percpu max size is close to, but not real max).

v4:
* remove inner union (Andrii Nakryiko)
* keep net_cnt on the stack (Andrii Nakryiko)

v3:
* refine SIZEOF_BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_ELEM comment (Yonghong Song)
* anonymous struct in percpu_net_cnt &amp; net_cnt (Yonghong Song)
* reorder free (Yonghong Song)
