Pointer increment on seeing PTR_MAYBE_NULL is already protected against,
hence make an exception for PTR_TO_BTF_ID | MEM_ALLOC while still
keeping the warning for other unintended cases that might creep in.
bpf_list_pop_{front,_back} helpers planned to be introduced in next
commit will return a MEM_ALLOC register with incremented offset pointing
to bpf_list_node field. The user is supposed to then obtain the pointer
to the entry using container_of after NULL checking it. The current
restrictions trigger a warning when doing the NULL checking. Revisiting
the reason, it is meant as an assertion which seems to actually work and
catch the bad case.
Hence, under no other circumstances can reg->off be non-zero for a
register that has the PTR_MAYBE_NULL type flag set.

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.
