All the uses of cmpxchg mean that there are races.
I know there is already a case for it in the existing code
and maybe it's justified.
But I would very much prefer the whole code converted to
clean locks without cmpxchg tricks.


+    if (prev_state == BPF_STRUCT_OPS_STATE_INUSE) {
+        st_map->st_ops_desc->st_ops->unreg(data);
+        /* Pair with bpf_map_inc() for reg() */
+        bpf_map_put(&st_map->map);
+        /* Pair with bpf_map_inc_not_zero() above */
+        bpf_map_put(&st_map->map);
+        return true;

I haven't tried to follow the logic, but double bpf_map_put
on the same map screams that this is broken.
Do proper locks everywhere.
inc_not_zero and cmpxchg shouldn't be needed.
keep it simple.

Got it!
