Yes, I just think PTR_NESTED is a bit misleading, it's not nested within the old
object, we loaded a pointer from it, it should just indicate that the pointer
came from a walk of a trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID.

Why would it fail there? It will still be a struct type.
I think you misunderstand this a bit.

When you have task from tracing ctx arg:
r1 = ctx;
r1 = *(r1 + ...); // PTR_TO_BTF_ID, task_struct, off=0
// r1 = task->next
r1 = *(r1 + offsetof(task_struct, next)); // PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_WALKED, task_struct, off = 0

We loaded a pointer from task_struct into r1.
Now r1 still points to a task_struct, so that check above won't fail for r1.

Yes, I don't like how it's growing and being mixed either. Eventually I think we
should document what combinations are allowed and reject everything else when
initializing reg->type to prevent bugs, but IDK whether something like this
would be accepted.
