Re: Error loading xdp program that worked with bpf_load

Hello here's some of the basic information, I don't have a minimum
code sample to reproduce the error and I don't really feel inclined to
spend the time to make one since I have already found a solution. I'm
not able to release the production code we are using.

5.3.0-53-generic #47~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 7 13:10:50 UTC 2020
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu clang version
10.0.1-++20200529024103+a634a80615b-1~exp1~20200529124721.169
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
