Commit 9e7a4d9831 ("bpf: Allow LSM programs to use bpf spin locks")
disabled bpf_spin_lock usage in sleepable progs, stating:
Sleepable LSM programs can be preempted which means that allowng spin
locks will need more work (disabling preemption and the verifier
ensuring that no sleepable helpers are called when a spin lock is
held).
This patch disables preemption before grabbing bpf_spin_lock. The second
requirement above "no sleepable helpers are called when a spin lock is
held" is implicitly enforced by current verifier logic due to helper
calls in spin_lock CS being disabled except for a few exceptions, none
of which sleep.
Due to above preemption changes, bpf_spin_lock CS can also be considered
a RCU CS, so verifier's in_rcu_cs check is modified to account for this.

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.
