My kernel version is 4.18.0-rc8+. I cloned it from
https://github.com/torvalds/linux before building a running.

My commit head(git show-ref --head) is at
1236568ee3cbb0d3ac62d0074a29b97ecf34cbbc HEAD

I also applied the patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/949884/
(samples: bpf: convert xdpsock_user.c to libbpf ), as the error was
initially in the form show below:
  "failed to create a map: 22 Invalid argument"
  "ERROR: load_bpf_file"

Thanks
