It can only be right before that code not after. That's the latest. In the
case of the syzbot bug, opcode == BPF_LSH and !src_known. Therefore it
needs to be before that block of code.

Shouldn't the src reg be changed so that the shift-out-of-bounds can't
occur, if return -EINVAL is not what we want here? Changing the dst reg
might not help. If I look into kernel/bpf/core.c I can see:
DST = DST OP SRC;

I'm going to look into selftests,
