However, native eBPF programs attached to sockets (SO_ATTACH_BPF) cannot be dumped with this method: Their orig_prog is always NULL. However, sock_diag_put_filterinfo() unconditionally tries to access its filter length resp. wants to copy the filter insns from there. Internal cBPF to eBPF transformations attached to sockets don't have this issue, as orig_prog state is kept. It's currently only used by packet sockets. If we would want to add native eBPF support in the future, this needs to be done through a different attribute than PACKET_DIAG_FILTER to not confuse possible user space disassemblers that work on diag data.
