Convert st_ops->data to the shadow type of the struct_ops map. The shadow type of a struct_ops type is a variant of the original struct type providing a way to access/change the values in the maps of the struct_ops type. bpf_map__initial_value() will return st_ops->data for struct_ops types. The skeleton is going to use it as the pointer to the shadow type of the original struct type. One of the main differences between the original struct type and the shadow type is that all function pointers of the shadow type are converted to pointers of struct bpf_program. Users can replace these bpf_program pointers with other BPF programs. The st_ops->progs[] will be updated before updating the value of a map to reflect the changes made by users.

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.
