Since commit 1c123c567fb138eb ("bpf: Resolve fext program type when checking map compatibility"), freplace prog can be used as tail-callee. However, when freplace prog has been attached and then updates to PROG_ARRAY map, it will panic, because the updating checks prog type of freplace prog by 'prog->aux->dst_prog->type' and 'prog->aux->dst_prog' of freplace prog is NULL.

It causes by commit 3aac1ead5eb6 ("bpf: Move prog->aux->linked_prog and trampoline into bpf_link on attach"). As 'prog->aux->dst_prog' of freplace prog is set as NULL when attach, freplace prog does not have stable prog type. But when to update freplace prog to PROG_ARRAY map, it requires checking prog type. They are conflict in theory. This patch is unable to resolve this issue thoroughly. It resolves prog type of freplace prog by 'prog->aux->saved_dst_prog_type' to avoid panic.
