Ok, he hasn't so I'll dig a bit.

No obvious wrongness (but I'm not very familiar with bpf), though I do
have a comment: sk_negative_common() and bpf_slow_path_common() should
be made one and single macro which takes the fallback function as an
argument.

I'll mess around & try to test using Jan test case & will come back
with an updated patch.

Cheers,
Ben.
