We define the expected value in R0 to be 65507(0xffe3) in the line at the top:
__success __retval(65507)
So, we should just not do anything to R0 and it should contain this value
after returning from bpf_csum_diff()
This masking hack was added in:
6185266c5a853 ("selftests/bpf: Mask bpf_csum_diff() return value to 16 bits in test_verifier")
because without the fix in patch 2 bpf_csum_diff() would return the
following for this test:
x86 : -29 : 0xffffffe3
generic (arm64, riscv) : 65507 : 0x0000ffe3
Thanks,
