'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.
memset() is required to clear them.
Fixes: 10d30e3017 ("libbpf: add flags to umem config")

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.
