It probably is 6098562ed9df ("selftests/bpf: Fix "dubious pointer
arithmetic" test")
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803145005.2385039-6-ovidiu.panait@windriver.com/
Could you try reverting that?

The patch didn't have a Fixes: tags, because the bugfix it refers to was
merged at the same time. That bugfix is upstream commit b02709587ea3
("bpf: Fix propagation of 32-bit signed bounds from 64-bit bounds.")

Since b02709587ea3 was only backported down to 5.10, this fix shouldn't be
in 5.4. Sorry for not catching this earlier.

Thanks,
Jean
