In particular for task local storage, it is easy to\nget a \"current\" task PTR_TO_BTF_ID in tracing bpf prog.\nHowever, task (and cgroup) local storage has already been moved to\nbpf mem allocator which can be used after raw_spin_lock.\n\nThe splat is for the sk storage. For sk (and inode) storage,\nit has not been moved to bpf mem allocator. Using raw_spin_lock or not,\nkzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) could theoretically be unsafe in tracing context.\nHowever, the local storage helper requires a verifier accepted\nsk pointer (PTR_TO_BTF_ID), it is hypothetical if that (mean running\na bpf prog in a kzalloc unsafe context and also able to hold a verifier\naccepted sk pointer) could happen.\n\nThis patch avoids kzalloc after raw_spin_lock to silent the splat.\nThere is an existing kzalloc before the raw_spin_lock. At that point,\na kzalloc is very likely required because a lookup has just been done\nbefore. Thus, this patch always does the kzalloc before acq\n---truncated---",
