How rewritten code looks here?

The patch is allowing check_ctx_access() to proceed with sort-of
correct 'off' and remember ctx_field_size,
but in convert_ctx_accesses() it's using insn->off to do conversion.
Which is zero in this case, so it will convert
struct __sk_buff {
        __u32 len; // offset 0

into access of 'struct sk_buff'->len
and then will add __sk_buff's &data - &mark delta to in-kernel len field.
Which will point to some random field further down in struct sk_buff.
Doesn't look correct at all.

How did you test this patch?
