Hm, I had some feedback on this in your last revision of the patch
set [1] that a NULL pointer dereference can be triggered here. Probably
oversaw it; I mentioned wrt the above:

  Any reason you went with the ARG_CONST_SIZE_OR_ZERO type? Semantics
  of this are that allowed [arg4, arg5] pair can be i) [NULL, 0] or
  ii) [non-NULL, non-zero], where in case ii) verifier checks that the
  area is initialized when coming from BPF stack.

  So above 'val = *((int *)optval);' would give a NULL pointer deref
  with NULL passed as arg or in case optlen was < sizeof(int) we access
  stack out of bounds potentially. If the [NULL, 0] pair is not required,
  I would just make that a ARG_CONST_SIZE and then check for size before
  accessing optval.

Would be good if you could still address it in a most likely final respin.

Thanks,
Daniel
