Martin suggested that instead of using a byte in the hole (which he has
a use for in his future patch) in bpf_local_storage_elem, we can
dispatch a different call_rcu callback based on whether we need to free
special fields in bpf_local_storage_elem data. The free path, described
in commit 9db44fdd81 ("bpf: Support kptrs in local storage maps"),
only waits for call_rcu callbacks when there are special (kptrs, etc.)
fields in the map value, hence it is necessary that we only access
smap in this case.
Therefore, dispatch different RCU callbacks based on the BPF map has a
valid btf_record, which dereference and use smap's btf_record only when
it is valid.

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.
