Yes, I tested lockdep too, we can't use the lock in NMI(but only
try_lock work fine) context if we use them no-NMI context. otherwise
the lockdep prints the warning.
* for the dead-lock case: we can use the
1. hash & min(HASHTAB_MAP_LOCK_MASK, htab->n_buckets -1)
2. or hash bucket address.

* for lockdep warning, we should use in_nmi check with map_locked.

BTW, the patch doesn't work, so we can remove the lock_key

static inline int htab_lock_bucket(const struct bpf_htab *htab,

                                   unsigned long *pflags)
{
        unsigned long flags;

        hash = hash & min(HASHTAB_MAP_LOCK_MASK, htab->n_buckets -1);

        preempt_disable();
        if (unlikely(__this_cpu_inc_return(*(htab->map_locked[hash])) != 1)) {
                __this_cpu_dec(*(htab->map_locked[hash]));
                preempt_enable();
