[PATCH 0/6] bpf: task_group_seq_get_next: use __next_thread()

Compile tested, 1-5 need the review from bpf maintainers, quite possibly
I did some silly mistakes. I tried to cleanup this code because I could
not look at it, but it has other problems and imo should be rewritten.

6/6 obviously depends on

[PATCH 1/2] introduce __next_thread(), fix next_tid() vs exec() race
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230824143142.GA31222@xxxxxxxxxx/

which was not merged yet.

To simplify the review, this is the code after 6/6:

static struct task_struct *task_group_seq_get_next(struct bpf_iter_seq_task_common *common,
u32 *tid,
bool skip_if_dup_files)
{
struct task_struct *task;
struct pid *pid;
u32 next_tid;

if (!*tid) {
/* The first time, the iterator calls this function. */
pid = find_pid_ns(common->pid, common->ns);
task = get_pid_task(pid, PIDTYPE_TGID);
if (!task)
return NULL;

*tid = common->pid;
common->pid_visiting = common->pid;

return task;
}

/* If the control returns to user space and comes back to the
* kernel again, *tid and common->pid_visiting should be the
* same for task_seq_start() to pick up the correct task.
*/
if (*tid == common->pid_visiting) {
pid = find_pid_ns(common->pid_visiting, common->ns);
task = get_pid_task(pid, PIDTYPE_PID);

return task;
}

task = find_task_by_pid_ns(common->pid_visiting, common->ns);
if (!task)
return NULL;

retry:
task = __next_thread(task);
if (!task)
return NULL;

next_tid = __task_pid_nr_ns(task, PIDTYPE_PID, common->ns);
if (!next_tid)
goto retry;

if (skip_if_dup_files && task->files == task->group_leader->files)
goto retry;

*tid = common->pid_visiting = next_tid;
get_task_struct(task);
return task;
}
