sorry for delay. I was traveling last week

It's certainly delicate.

Interesting idea!
All insn emits trying to do the right thing from the start.
Here the logic assumes that there will be at least two passes over image.
I think that is correct, but we never had such assumption.
A comment is certainly must have.
The race is possible too. Not sure whether READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE
are really warranted though. Might be overkill.
Nice that Josh's test_verifier is passing, but it doesn't provide
a ton of coverage. test_progs has a lot more.
Once you have a git branch with all the changes I can give it a go.
Also you can rely on our BPF CI.
Just cc your patchset to bpf@vger and add [PATCH bpf-next] to a subject.
In patchwork there will be "bpf/vmtest-bpf-next" link that
builds kernel, selftests and runs everything.
It's pretty much the same as selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh, but with the latest
clang nightly and other deps like pahole.
