Interesting.
It's because of kvmalloc in kvmemdup_bpfptr.
Which is used in ___bpf_copy_key.
Which is used in map_update_elem.
And afair all maps enforce key_size < KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.
Not sure why kvmalloc was there.
If it was kmalloc instead then
#include <linux/slab.h>
in linux/sockptr.h that is included by linux/bpfptr.h
would have been enough.
A food for thought.
