  - bpf: Reject dev-bound-only programs on other devices __bpf_offload_dev_match() falls back to comparing
    offdev pointers after an exact netdev mismatch. Bound-only programs normally have NULL offdevs, so
    unrelated netdevs compare equal. A bound-only program on an offload-registered netdev can instead inherit
    a real offdev and match a sibling port. With CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN, a caller can use
    bpf(BPF_LINK_CREATE) with a different target ifindex to run metadata kfuncs specialized for the bound
    driver on the target driver's xdp_buff. Running a veth-bound program on tun reads beyond tun's bare stack
    xdp_buff as a veth_xdp_buff. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN:
