Oddly I see an error trying to build net-next with clang 15.0.7,
but I'm 90% sure that it built yesterday, has anyone seen:
../kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10298:24: error: array index 16 is past the end of the array (which contains 16 elements) [-Werror,-Warray-bounds]
meta.func_id == special_kfunc_list[KF_bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr]) {
