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.

The problem was that we were able to generate skb with len=0 via
BPF_PROG_RUN. Prohibiting those cases breaks backwards compatibility, so
we either have to:

a) (preferred?) accept inputs with <14, but maybe internally pad to 14
bytes to make the core stack happy
b) revert the patch and instead have length checks at runtime; doesn't seem to
be worth the penalty in the forwarding path because of some corner cases
like these ?

Hi sdf:
	a) looks better and I'll put up a patch as soon as possible to
fix it.
