   * BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN
   *	Description
- *		Run an eBPF program a number of times against a provided
- *		program context and return the modified program context and
- *		duration of the test run.
+ *		Run the eBPF program associated with the *prog_fd* a *repeat*
+ *		number of times against a provided program context *ctx_in* and
+ *		data *data_in*, and return the modified program context
+ *		*ctx_out*, *data_out* (for example, packet data), result of the
+ *		execution *retval*, and *duration* of the test run.

FYI, Lorenz's BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN support for sk_lookup program
requires data_in and data_out to be NULL. Not sure whether it is worthwhile to specially mention here or not. The patch has not
been merged but close.
