An earlier patch in the series ensures that the underlying memory of nodes with bpf_refcount - which can have multiple owners - is not reused until RCU grace period has elapsed. This prevents use-after-free with non-owning references that may point to recently-freed memory. While RCU read lock is held, it's safe to dereference such a non-owning ref, as by definition RCU GP couldn't have elapsed and therefore underlying memory couldn't have been reused. From the perspective of verifier "trustedness" non-owning refs to refcounted nodes are now trusted only in RCU CS and therefore should no longer pass is_trusted_reg, but rather is_rcu_reg. Let's mark them MEM_RCU in order to reflect this new state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
