I elaborated a bit more on this in my next comment, but I think we
should just get rid of is_release_function() and use
meta.release_regno to track in check_func_arg() if the function is a
release function.

Why do we need to prevent the case where a release kernel helper
function doesn't have any of its arguments tagged as PTR_RELEASE or
conversely, that a non-release helper function has one of its
arguments tagged with PTR_RELEASE? That would be a bug in the kernel
then. I think we can just assume that this will never be the case.
Given that, I'm in favor of just removing check_release_regno()
altogether, and doing the meta->release_regno assignment + check for
multiple PTR_MEM args in check_func_arg() right after the
skip_type_check: goto. We already do the assignment + multiple
instances check there for meta->ref_obj_id. That to me looks like the
cleanest approach.

I don't think you even need meta->release_function, since you already
have meta->release_regno, no? You can just check whether
meta->release_regno is non-zero.

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but I think we also need to
check here that meta.release_regno == meta.ref_obj_id; otherwise there
could be the case where if a helper function takes in at least two
parameters one of which is PTR_RELEASE, the program could pass in
something with no ref obj id as the PTR_RELEASE arg, and a ref obj id
arg as one of the other args.
