"sk_skb/skb_verdict" was treated by libbpf *exactly* the same way as
"sk_skb". Which means the attach type was set to BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_SKB
and expected_attach_type was 0 (not BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT!). So that
program is definitely not a BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT, libbpf pre-1.0 just
has a sloppy prefix matching logic.
So Song's point is valid, we currently don't have selftests that tests
BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT expected attach type, so it would be good to add
it. Or make sure that existing test that was supposed to test it is
actually testing it.

We don't check expected_attach_type in prog_load, but
sock_map_prog_update in net/core/sock_map.c is checking expected
attach type and should return -EOPNOTSUPP. But given that no test is
failing our tests don't even try to attach anything, I assume. Which
makes them not so great at actually testing anything. Please see if
you can improve that.

As I mentioned above, it could have been called "sk_skb!dontcare" and
that would still work (and still does if strict mode is not enabled
for libbpf). For consistency with UAPI expected_attach_type enum it
should be called "sk_skb/verdict" because BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT vs
BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT vs BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_PARSER.
