Sure. Sorry for not providing all the details.

If I understand the behavior of copy_from_user() correctly, it may
return partially copied data in case of error, which then leads to a
partially-copied 'max_optlen'.

So, do you expect a partially-copied max_optlen to be passed to the
eBPF program meanwhile the user still expects a complete one (since no
-EFAULT)?

Thanks.
