Hi,

Christian brought up a good point on the API - what if the task and
kernel differ on what the payload size is for an opcode? Currently
there are two defined payloads, inside struct io_uring_bpf_ctx:

	struct {
		__u32	family;
		__u32	type;
		__u32	protocol;
	} socket;

	struct {
		__u64	flags;
		__u64	mode;
		__u64	resolve;
	} open;

and it could be a requirement that a filter exactly matches the payload
that the kernel uses, if extensions have been made on the kernel side.
Hence this small series updates the API slightly:

struct io_uring_bpf_filter adds a pdu_size field, which userspace can
set to the size if expects. For an OPENAT/OPENAT2 filter, that would
be sizeof(struct open) above. The kernel can validate that they match,
where the mismatch policy is controlled by userspace. See patch 2 for
details. In case of a mismatch that causes an error, the kernel side
pdu_size is copied back to userspace.

Patch 1 exposes the pdu_size by shoving the filtering and pdu_size
into the issue side definitions, and patch 2 implements the above
size checking.

The liburing master branch has been updated as well for this, as
copying back the pdu_size necessitates changing the API on that side.
Test cases and man pages are updated as well.
