In struct bpf_struct_ops, we have take a pointer to a BTF type name, and
a struct btf_type. This was presumably done for convenience, but can
actually result in subtle and confusing bugs given that BTF data can be
invalidated before a program is loaded. For example, in sched_ext, we
may sometimes resize a data section after a skeleton has been opened,
but before the struct_ops scheduler map has been loaded. This may cause
the BTF data to be realloc'd, which can then cause a UAF when loading
the program because the struct_ops map has pointers directly into the
BTF data.
We're already storing the BTF type_id in struct bpf_struct_ops. Because
type_id is stable, we can therefore just update the places where we were
looking at those pointers to instead do the lookups we need from the
type_id.

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 reStructuredText 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.
