OK. However I need to argue for the fine grained break down. The
original though is that if disabling migration for ->map_free callback
for all maps introduces some problems, we could revert the patch #15
separately instead of reverting the squashed patch and moving the
migrate_{disable|enable}() pair to maps which are OK with that change
again.  What do you think ?

Er, I said it wrong. It is my local bpf-next setup. A few days ago, when
I tried to verify the patch by using bpf_next/for-next treee, the
running of test_maps and test_progs failed. Will check today that
whether it is OK.

OK. However bpf_ma is not the only one which needs disabled migration.
The reason that bpf_ma needs migrate_disable() is the use of
this_cpu_ptr(). However, there are many places in bpf which use
this_cpu_ptr() (e.g., bpf_for_each_array_elem) and this_cpu_{in|del}
pair (e.g., bpf_cgrp_storage_lock).  I will check the cant_migrate which
can be removed in v2.

Thanks for these suggestions.
