Allows struct_ops programs to acqurie referenced kptrs from arguments by directly reading the argument. The verifier will acquire a reference for struct_ops a argument tagged with "__ref" in the stub function in the beginning of the main program. The user will be able to access the referenced kptr directly by reading the context as long as it has not been released by the program. This new mechanism to acquire referenced kptr (compared to the existing "kfunc with KF_ACQUIRE") is introduced for ergonomic and semantic reasons. In the first use case, Qdisc_ops, an skb is passed to .enqueue in the first argument. This mechanism provides a natural way for users to get a referenced kptr in the .enqueue struct_ops programs and makes sure that a qdisc will always enqueue or drop the skb.

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.
