Structs bpf_rb_node and bpf_list_node are opaquely defined in
uapi/linux/bpf.h, as BPF program writers are not expected to touch their
fields - nor does the verifier allow them to do so.
Currently these structs are simple wrappers around structs rb_node and
list_head and linked_list / rbtree implementation just casts and passes
to library functions for those data structures. Later patches in this
series, though, will add an "owner" field to bpf_{rb,list}_node, such
that they're not just wrapping an underlying node type. Moreover, the
bpf linked_list and rbtree implementations will deal with these owner
pointers directly in a few different places.
To avoid having to do
void *owner = (void*)bpf_list_node + sizeof(struct list_head)
with opaque UAPI node types, add bpf_{list,rb}_node_kern struct
definitions to internal headers and modify linked_list and rbtree to use
the internal types where appropriate.

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.
