[PATCH bpf-next v4 2/2] selftests/bpf: Cover refcount acquire node offsets
From: Yiyang Chen
Date: Tue Jun 23 2026 - 02:12:33 EST
Add regression coverage for bpf_refcount_acquire() on graph-node-derived
pointers.
The rejected case passes a popped list node pointer directly to
bpf_refcount_acquire(), which must fail because the pointer carries a
non-zero fixed offset.
