+ * pointer returned from "sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();":

+ *
+ * After bpf_sk_release(sk) at line 7, both "fullsock" ptr and
+ * "tp" ptr should be invalidated also. In order to do that,
+ * the reg holding "fullsock" and "sk" need to remember
+ * the original refcounted ptr id (i.e. sk_reg->id) in ref_obj_id
+ * such that the verifier can reset all regs which have
+ * ref_obj_id matching the sk_reg->id.
+ *
+ * sk_reg->ref_obj_id is set to sk_reg->id at line 1.
+ * sk_reg->id will stay as NULL-marking purpose only.
+ * After NULL-marking is done, sk_reg->id can be reset to 0.
+ *
+ * After "fullsock = bpf_sk_fullsock(sk);" at line 3,
+ * fullsock_reg->ref_obj_id is set to sk_reg->ref_obj_id.
+ *
+ * After "tp = bpf_tcp_sock(fullsock);" at line 5,
+ * tp_reg->ref_obj_id is set to fullsock_reg->ref_obj_id
+ * which is the same as sk_reg->ref_obj_id.
+ *
+ * From the verifier perspective, if sk, fullsock and tp
+ * are not NULL, they are the same ptr with different
+ * reg->type. In particular, bpf_sk_release(tp) is also
+ * allowed and has the same effect as bpf_sk_release(sk).
