'struct xdp_umem_reg' has 4 bytes of padding at the end that makes valgrind complain about passing uninitialized stack memory to the syscall:
Syscall param socketcall.setsockopt() points to uninitialised byte(s) at 0x4E7AB7E: setsockopt (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.29.so) by 0x4BDE035: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:172) Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation at 0x4BDDEBA: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:140)
Padding bytes appeared after introducing of a new 'flags' field.
