[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Cover mixed arena and map-value atomics

From: Yiyang Chen

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 08:10:04 EST


Add a verifier test with one atomic RMW instruction reached through
PTR_TO_ARENA and PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE paths. The verifier must reject the
shared instruction with the existing incompatible-pointer diagnostic.
