[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Cover RHash special-field recycle

From: Nuoqi Gui

Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 11:54:29 EST


Add regression coverage for RHash value recycling with referenced kptrs.

Store a referenced task kptr and update the value with BPF_EXIST. Verify
that bpf_kptr_xchg() still returns the kptr. Then store another task kptr
and delete the element to exercise the delayed reclamation path.
