+ * list could be extended in the future).
+ * * BTF description of the map is mandatory.
+ * * The BPF program can take ONE lock at a time, since taking two
+ * or more could cause dead locks.
+ * * Only one **struct bpf_spin_lock** is allowed per map element.
+ * * When the lock is taken, calls (either BPF to BPF or helpers)
+ * are not allowed.
+ * * The **BPF_LD_ABS** and **BPF_LD_IND** instructions are not
+ * allowed inside a spinlock-ed region.
+ * * The BPF program MUST call **bpf_spin_unlock**\ () to release
+ * the lock, on all execution paths, before it returns.
+ * * The BPF program can access **struct bpf_spin_lock** only via
+ * the **bpf_spin_lock**\ () and **bpf_spin_unlock**\ ()
+ * helpers. Loading or storing data into the **struct
+ * bpf_spin_lock** *lock*\ **;** field of a map is not allowed.
+ * * To use the **bpf_spin_lock**\ () helper, the BTF description
+ * of the map value must be a struct and have **struct
+ * bpf_spin_lock** *anyname*\ **;** field at the top level.
+ * Nested lock inside another struct is not allowed.
+ * * The **struct bpf_spin_lock** *lock* field in a map value must
+ * be aligned on a multiple of 4 bytes in that value.
+ * * Syscall with command **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM** does not copy
