Bryce reported that he saw the following with:
0: r6 = r1
1: r1 = 12
2: r0 = *(u16 *)skb[r1]
The xlated sequence was incorrectly clobbering r2 with pointer
value of r6 ...
0: (bf) r6 = r1
1: (b7) r1 = 12
2: (bf) r1 = r6
3: (bf) r2 = r1
4: (85) call bpf_skb_load_helper_16_no_cache#7692160
... and hence call to the load helper never succeeded given the
offset was too high. Fix it by reordering the load of r6 to r1.
Other than that the insn has similar calling convention than BPF
helpers, that is, r0 - r5 are scratch regs, so nothing else
affected after the insn.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
