I'll try! Roughly, we do the following:

1. Create a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER program that just returns 0
2. Load the program into the kernel
3. Call BPF_PROG_RUN with data_size_in == 14

After your bugfix, it seems like step 3 is rejected due to data_size_in == 14. We had to increase data_size_in to 15 to
avoid this, see [0].

This breaks user space, so it would be great if you could fix this in a way that doesn't refuse BPF_PROG_RUN with
data_size_in == 14. Since I don't understand the original problem very well I can't tell you what the best fix is however.
