Can you elaborate? You hit this only once and then never again
in this or some other, similar call-trace form, right?

--verbose, what talk specifically? There were some fixes longer
time ago, but related to eBPF, not cBPF, but even there I don't
see currently how it could be related to a va->list corruption
triggered in __insert_vmap_area().

Or some use after free that would have corrupted that memory? I
would think right now that the path via bpf_prog_alloc() could
have triggered, but not necessarily caused the issue, hmm.
