Cc'ing Andrey...

Looks like the failure is due to the addition of a new member to struct
htab_elem. Any reason why it is hard-coded as 64 in check_hash()?
And what's the point of verifying its size? htab_elem should be only
visible to the kernel itself.

I can certainly change 64 to whatever its new size is, but I do wonder
why the test is there.

Thanks.
