Repetition steps:<br />
<br />
For the following cgroup tree,<br />
<br />
root<br />
|<br />
cg1<br />
|<br />
cg2<br />
<br />
1. attach prog2 to cg2, and then attach prog1 to cg1, both bpf progs<br />
attach type is NONE or OVERRIDE.<br />
2. write 1 to /proc/thread-self/fail-nth for failslab.<br />
3. detach prog1 for cg1, and then kernel BUG occur.<br />
<br />
Failslab injection will cause kmalloc fail and fall back to<br />
purge_effective_progs. The problem is that cg2 have attached another prog,<br />
so when go through cg2 layer, iteration will add pos to 1, and subsequent<br />
operations will be skipped by the following condition, and cg will meet<br />
NULL in the end.<br />
<br />
`if (pos && !(cg->bpf.flags[atype] & BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI))`<br />
<br />
The NULL cg means no link or prog match, this is as expected, and it&#39;s not<br />
a bug. So here just skip the no match situation.
