A busy irq work is an unfinished irq work and it can be either in the
pending state or in the running state. When destroying bpf memory
allocator, refill_work may be busy for PREEMPT_RT kernel in which irq
work is invoked in a per-CPU RT-kthread. It is also possible for kernel
with arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() being false (e.g. 1-cpu arm32 host or
mips) and irq work is inovked in timer interrupt.
The busy refill_work leads to various issues. The obvious one is that
there will be concurrent operations on free_by_rcu and free_list between
irq work and memory draining. Another one is call_rcu_in_progress will
not be reliable for the checking of pending RCU callback because
do_call_rcu() may have not been invoked by irq work yet. The other is
there will be use-after-free if irq work is freed before the callback
of irq work is invoked as shown below:

Considering the ease of concurrency handling, no overhead for
irq_work_sync() under non-PREEMPT_RT kernel and has-irq-work-interrupt
kernel and the short wait time used for irq_work_sync() under PREEMPT_RT
(When running two test_maps on PREEMPT_RT kernel and 72-cpus host, the
max wait time is about 8ms and the 99th percentile is 10us), just using
irq_work_sync() to wait for busy refill_work to complete before memory
draining and memory freeing.

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.
