The path to hit this case is to add a sock to a map (without a BPF program) where the sock already has been added to another map. I don't have any tests for the case with socks in multiple maps so I'll add some to the selftests so I remember this case. The alternative fix would be to always 'return 0' at the end of the function, but I think its probably better to init err here like above. Acked-by: John Fastabend
