It's straightforward to prove that kptr_struct_meta must be non-NULL for any valid call to these kfuncs: * btf_parse_struct_metas in btf.c creates a btf_struct_meta for any struct in user BTF with a special field (e.g. bpf_refcount, {rb,list}_node). These are stored in that BTF's struct_meta_tab. * __process_kf_arg_ptr_to_graph_node in verifier.c ensures that nodes have {rb,list}_node field and that it's at the correct offset. Similarly, check_kfunc_args ensures bpf_refcount field existence for node param to bpf_refcount_acquire. * So a btf_struct_meta must have been created for the struct type of node param to these kfuncs * That BTF and its struct_meta_tab are guaranteed to still be around. Any arbitrary {rb,list} node the BPF program interacts with either: came from bpf_obj_new or a collection removal kfunc in the same program, in which case the BTF is associated with the program and still around; or came from bpf_kptr_xchg, in which case the BTF was associated with the map and is still around Instead of silently continuing with NULL struct_meta, which caused confusing bugs such as those addressed by commit 2140a6e3422d ("bpf: Set kptr_struct_meta for node param to list and rbtree insert funcs"), let's error out. Then, at runtime, we can confidently say that the implementations of these kfuncs were given a non-NULL kptr_struct_meta, meaning that special-field-specific functionality like bpf_obj_free_fields and the bpf_obj_drop change introduced later in this series are guaranteed to execute. This patch doesn't change functionality, just makes it easier to reason about existing functionality.
