6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e549b39a0ab8880d7ae6c6495b00fc1cb8f36174 ]
Cast operation has a higher precedence than addition. The code here
wants to zero the 2nd half of the 64-bit metadata, but due to a pointer
arithmetic mistake, it writes the zero at offset 16 instead.
Just adding parentheses around "data + 4" would fix this, but I think
this will be slightly better readable with array syntax.
I was unable to test this with tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh,
because my glibc is newer than glibc in the provided VM image.
So I just checked the difference in the compiled code.
objdump -S tools/testing/selftests/bpf/xdp_do_redirect.test.o:
- *((__u32 *)data) = 0x42; /* metadata test value */
+ ((__u32 *)data)[0] = 0x42; /* metadata test value */
be7: 48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff lea -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax
bee: c7 00 42 00 00 00 movl $0x42,(%rax)
- *((__u32 *)data + 4) = 0;
+ ((__u32 *)data)[1] = 0;
bf4: 48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff lea -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax
- bfb: 48 83 c0 10 add $0x10,%rax
+ bfb: 48 83 c0 04 add $0x4,%rax
bff: c7 00 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,(%rax)
