subject: selftests/bpf: Fix selftest verifier_arena_large failure
version: 1
url: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=1004456

With latest llvm22, I got the following verification failure:

  ...

  =============
  #489/5   verifier_arena_large/big_alloc2:FAIL

The main reason is that 'r8' in insn '70' is not an arena pointer.
Further debugging at llvm side shows that llvm commit ([1]) caused
the failure. For the original code:
  page[i] = NULL;
  page[i + 1] = NULL;
the llvm transformed it to something like below at source level:
  __builtin_memset(&page[i], 0, 16)
Such transformation prevents llvm BPFCheckAndAdjustIR pass from
generating proper addr_space_cast insns ([2]).

Adding support in llvm BPFCheckAndAdjustIR pass should work, but
not sure that such a pattern exists or not in real applications.
At the same time, simply adding a memory barrier between two 'page'
assignment can fix the issue.
