[PATCH v2 4/6] selftests/bpf: Add test case for bpf_list_add_impl

From: Chengkaitao

Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 04:37:11 EST


From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@xxxxxxxxxx>

Extend refcounted_kptr test (test_list_add_del) to exercise bpf_list_add:
add a second node after the first, then bpf_list_del both nodes.
