I can't spot the problem, could you give me a hint?

case BPF_LD|BPF_W|BPF_ABS:
k = fentry->k;
load_w:
- ptr = load_pointer(skb, k, 4, &tmp);
+ if (k >= 0)
+ ptr = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &tmp);
+ else if (k < SKF_AD_OFF)
+ ptr = load_pointer(skb, k);
+ else
+ break;

The old value of ptr will be used in this case, it should
be explicitly set to NULL to abort.
