User space might be creating and destroying a lot of hash maps. Synchronous rcu_barrier-s in a destruction path of hash map delay freeing of hash buckets and other map memory and may cause artificial OOM situation under stress. Optimize rcu_barrier usage between bpf hash map and bpf_mem_alloc: - remove rcu_barrier from hash map, since htab doesn't use call_rcu directly and there are no callback to wait for. - bpf_mem_alloc has call_rcu_in_progress flag that indicates pending callbacks. Use it to avoid barriers in fast path. - When barriers are needed copy bpf_mem_alloc into temp structure and wait for rcu barrier-s in the worker to let the rest of hash map freeing to proceed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
