By "current version", you mean the patch I sent[0], right?

If so, that was deliberate: the stack limits the maximum data_meta size
to XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM - sizeof(struct xdp_frame), so there's no reason
not to do the same for bpf_prog_run(). And some chance that diverging
here will end up surfacing other bugs down the line.
