I think the 'type' check is redundant,
since check_reg_type() did it via compatible_reg_types.
If so it's probably better to remove it here ?

'!map' looks unnecessary. Can it ever happen? If yes, it's a verifier bug.
For example in check_mem_access() we just deref reg->map_ptr without checking
which, I think, is correct.

This check is needed, of course.

since the code checks it here the same check in check_bpf_snprintf_call() should
probably do:
 if (err) {
   verbose("verifier bug\n");
   return -EFAULT;
 }

instead of just "return err;"
?

> +			verbose(env, "direct value access on string failed\n");

I think the message doesn't tell users much, but they probably should never
see it unless they try to do lookup from readonly array with
more than one element.
So I guess it's fine to keep this one as-is. Just flagging.

Anyway the whole set looks great, so I've applied to bpf-next.
Thanks!
