The extra 8-bytes are not corrupted. Both of these two bpf_mem_cache are
valid and there are in the cache array defined in bpf_mem_caches. BPF
memory allocator allocated the pointer from 96-bytes sized-cache, but it
tried to free the pointer through 128-bytes sized-cache.

Now I suspect there is no 96-bytes slab in your system and ksize(ptr -
LLIST_NODE_SZ) returns 128, so bpf memory allocator selected the
128-byte sized-cache instead of 96-bytes sized-cache. Could you please
check the value of KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE in your kernel .config and using the
following command to check whether there is 96-bytes slab in your system:

$ cat /proc/slabinfo |grep kmalloc-96
dma-kmalloc-96         0      0     96   42    1 : tunables    0    0   
0 : slabdata      0      0      0
kmalloc-96          1865   2268     96   42    1 : tunables    0    0   
0 : slabdata     54     54      0

In my system, slab has 96-bytes cached, so grep outputs something, but I
think there will no output in your system.
