Thank you! This works for me so this patch is unnecessary then.
Just curious is there any technical issue to include rcu_ptr into
btf_id_sock_common_types? AFAICT rcu_ptr should also be a valid ptr
type, and then btf_id_sock_common_types will behave like (PTR_TO_BTF_ID
+ &btf_sock_ids[BTF_SOCK_TYPE_SOCK_COMMON]) in bpf_func_proto.
Thanks.
