Yeah, right. Noticed that later on. It was a bit confusing at first as I didn't
parse that clearly from the commit message itself.

Yep, got that part.

... and the MAX_BPF_STACK stands for the maximum key part here, okay.

So, when creating a sufficiently large map where map->key_size + map->value_size
would be > MAX_BPF_STACK (but map->key_size still <= MAX_BPF_STACK), we can only
read the map from an eBPF program, but not update it. In such cases, updates could
only happen from user space application.

That's obvious, too.
