bpf: Avoid taking spinlock in bpf_task_storage_get if potential deadlock is detected
bpf_task_storage_get() does a lookup and optionally inserts
new data if BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE is present.
During lookup, it will cache the lookup result and caching requires to
acquire a spinlock. When potential deadlock is detected (by the
bpf_task_storage_busy pcpu-counter added in
commit bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")),
the current behavior is returning NULL immediately to avoid deadlock. It is
too pessimistic. This patch will go ahead to do a lookup (which is a
lockless operation) but it will avoid caching it in order to avoid
acquiring the spinlock.
When lookup fails to find the data and BPF_LOCAL_STORAGE_GET_F_CREATE
is set, an insertion is needed and this requires acquiring a spinlock.
This patch will still return NULL when a potential deadlock is detected.
