You could also make your BPF sock_ops program cache the value and return
the cached value when called for BPF_SOCK_OPS_HDR_OPT_LEN_CB.

If that is in your opinion prohibitevely expensive then it would be good
to see a sample program and CPU cycle measurements (bpftool prog profile).

What if *remaining value shrinks from one call to the next?

BPF sock_ops program can't react to change. Feels like there should be a
safety check to prevent an underflow.

Have you considered a bpf_reserve_hdr_opt() flag instead?

An example or test coverage would to show this API extension in action
would help.
