Yes, I noticed that Andrii made the change, and it seems to work
as-is. Therefore,
I had the question "do we really need it".

If we do need to differentiate skb_verdict from just sk_skb, could you
please add a
case selftest for skb_verdict?

Also, maybe we can name it as "sk_skb/verdict" to avoid duplication?

Thanks,
