[PATCH 5.4 023/203] bpf: cgroup: prevent out-of-order release of cgroup bpf

commit e10360f815ca6367357b2c2cfef17fc663e50f7b upstream.

Before commit 4bfc0bb2c60e ("bpf: decouple the lifetime of cgroup_bpf from cgroup itself")
cgroup bpf structures were released with
corresponding cgroup structures. It guaranteed the hierarchical order
of destruction: children were always first. It preserved attached
programs from being released before their propagated copies.

But with cgroup auto-detachment there are no such guarantees anymore:
cgroup bpf is released as soon as the cgroup is offline and there are
no live associated sockets. It means that an attached program can be
detached and released, while its propagated copy is still living
in the cgroup subtree. This will obviously lead to an use-after-free
bug.

To reproduce the issue the following script can be used:

#!/bin/bash

CGROOT=/sys/fs/cgroup

mkdir -p ${CGROOT}/A ${CGROOT}/B ${CGROOT}/A/C
sleep 1

./test_cgrp2_attach ${CGROOT}/A egress &
A_PID=$!
./test_cgrp2_attach ${CGROOT}/B egress &
B_PID=$!

echo $$ > ${CGROOT}/A/C/cgroup.procs
iperf -s &
S_PID=$!
iperf -c localhost -t 100 &
C_PID=$!

sleep 1

echo $$ > ${CGROOT}/B/cgroup.procs
echo ${S_PID} > ${CGROOT}/B/cgroup.procs
echo ${C_PID} > ${CGROOT}/B/cgroup.procs

sleep 1

rmdir ${CGROOT}/A/C
rmdir ${CGROOT}/A

sleep 1

kill -9 ${S_PID} ${C_PID} ${A_PID} ${B_PID}

On the unpatched kernel the following stacktrace can be obtained:

Fix this by grabbing a reference to the bpf structure of each ancestor
on the initialization of the cgroup bpf structure, and dropping the
reference at the end of releasing the cgroup bpf structure.

This will restore the hierarchical order of cgroup bpf releasing,
without adding any operations on hot paths.

Thanks to Josef Bacik for the debugging and the initial analysis of
the problem.
