Ah, I actually missed the fact that verifier actually checks those
values (so it's not just >= 0 or < 0), so yeah, let's just pass
through. Btw, the value when there is no spinlock is actually -ENOENT.

No, it won't, because bpf_map_meta_alloc explicitly tests for it:

        if (map_value_has_spin_lock(inner_map)) {
                fdput(f);
                return ERR_PTR(-ENOTSUPP);
        }

Maybe Alexei can clarify?
