Thanks! The fix was all your idea :-)

Now that those pesky crashes are gone, we plan to look into drops when
doing echo with sockmap. Marek tried running echo-sockmap [1] with
latest bpf-next (plus mentioned crash fixes) and reports that not all
data bounces back:

$ yes| head -c $[1024*1024] | nc -q2 192.168.1.33 1234 |wc -c
971832
$ yes| head -c $[1024*1024] | nc -q2 192.168.1.33 1234 |wc -c
867352
$ yes| head -c $[1024*1024] | nc -q2 192.168.1.33 1234 |wc -c
952648

I'm tring to turn echo-sockmap into a selftest but as you can probably
guess over loopback all works fine.
