Yeah, this confirms my speculation.

The problem is essentially a design flaw of u32 filter, the IP header
and TCP header offsets are never fixed, for example VLAN tagging and
IP options. What's more, it is not easy for user-space to learn the offset
for different packets as it requires to parse into each packets.

I don't know whether we can fix this either, VLAN call path probably
already makes assumptions on the current skb->data position, if
we "fix" it for u32, it would probably break other things.
