Ensure that there can be no ownership cycles among different types by way of having owning objects that can hold some other type as their element. For instance, a map value can only hold allocated objects, but these are allowed to have another bpf_list_head. To prevent unbounded recursion while freeing resources, elements of bpf_list_head in local kptrs can never have a bpf_list_head which are part of list in a map value. Later patches will verify this by having dedicated BTF selftests. Also, to make runtime destruction easier, once btf_struct_metas is fully populated, we can stash the metadata of the value type directly in the metadata of the list_head fields, as that allows easier access to the value type's layout to destruct it at runtime from the btf_field entry of the list head itself.

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.
