grrr. indeed. previous layer before sk_filter() can leave junk in there.
Would need to disable cb[0-5] for unpriv, but that will make tail_call
much harder to use, since cb[0-5] is a way to pass arguments from
one prog to another and clearing them is not an option, since it's
too expensive. Like samples/bpf/sockex3_kern.c usage of cb[0]
won't work anymore. I guess that's the price of unpriv.
Will fix this, add few tail_call specific tests and respin.
Please keep poking.
