The lifetime of TCP-AO static_key is the same as the last
tcp_ao_info. On the socket destruction tcp_ao_info ceases to be
with RCU grace period, while tcp-ao static branch is currently deferred
destructed. The static key definition is
: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_DEFERRED_FALSE(tcp_ao_needed, HZ);
which means that if RCU grace period is delayed by more than a second
and tcp_ao_needed is in the process of disablement, other CPUs may
yet see tcp_ao_info which atent dead, but soon-to-be.
And that breaks the assumption of static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().
See the comment near the definition:
> * The caller must make sure that the static key can't get disabled while
> * in this function. It doesn't patch jump labels, only adds a user to
> * an already enabled static key.
Originally it was introduced in commit eb8c507296f6 ("jump_label:
Prevent key->enabled int overflow"), which is needed for the atomic
contexts, one of which would be the creation of a full socket from a
request socket. In that atomic context, it's known by the presence
of the key (md5/ao) that the static branch is already enabled.
So, the ref counter for that static branch is just incremented
instead of holding the proper mutex.
static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled() is just a helper for such usage
case. But it must not be used if the static branch could get disabled
in parallel as it's not protected by jump_label_mutex and as a result,
races with jump_label_update() implementation details.
Happened on netdev test-bot[1], so not a theoretical issue:

Changes in v3:
- Use hlist_for_each_entry() instead of hlist_for_each_entry_safe() in
tcp_ao_sk_omem_free() (Jakub's suggestion)
- While at it, use hlist_del() instead of hlist_del_rcu() in
tcp_ao_info_free_rcu()
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240730-tcp-ao-static-branch-rcu-v2-1-33dc2b7adac8@gmail.com
Changes in v2:
- Use rcu_assign_pointer() in tcp_ao_destroy_sock()
- Combined both ao_info and keys destruction in one RCU callback,
tcp_ao_info_free_rcu() (suggested-by Jakub)
- Hopefully improved a bit the commit message
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240725-tcp-ao-static-branch-rcu-v1-1-021d009beebf@gmail.com

I haven't seen the splat so far after applying 224fa3552029. Before that, syzkaller reported jump_label splats 4~5 times everyday, so I think 224fa3552029 fixed the regression. Thanks!
