net-next libbpf broken on prev kernel release

Hello,

It seems that the following patch did break libbpf (in net-next
version) which is not able to load anymore a program on a 4.14:

bpf: libbpf: Provide basic API support to specify BPF obj name

The problem comes from

-int bpf_load_program(enum bpf_prog_type type, const struct bpf_insn *insns,
-		     size_t insns_cnt, const char *license,
-		     __u32 kern_version, char *log_buf, size_t log_buf_sz)

 {
 	int fd;
 	union bpf_attr attr;
+	__u32 name_len = name ? strlen(name) : 0;
 
 	bzero(&attr, sizeof(attr));
 	attr.prog_type = type;

@@ -130,6 +151,7 @@ int bpf_load_program(enum bpf_prog_type type, const struct bpf_insn *insns,

If I comment the memcpy then the eBPF program is loading correctly.

Is this a wanted behavior to have libbpf that needs to be in sync with
kernel ? or should it be fixed ?

BR,
