The source code:
  int iter_arr_with_actual_elem_count(const void *ctx)
  {
        int i, n = loop_data.n, sum = 0;

        if (n > ARRAY_SIZE(loop_data.data))
                return 0;

        bpf_for(i, 0, n) {
                /* no rechecking of i against ARRAY_SIZE(loop_data.n) */
                sum += loop_data.data[i];
        }

        return sum;
  }

The insn #14 is a sign-extenstion load which is related to 'int i'.
The insn #15 did a subreg comparision. Note that smin=0xffffffff80000000 and this caused later
insn #23 failed verification due to unbounded min value.

Actually insn #15 R1 smin range can be better. Before insn #15, we have
  R1_w=scalar(smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff)
With the above range, we know for R1, upper 32bit can only be 0xffffffff or 0.
Otherwise, the value range for R1 could be beyond [smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff].

After insn #15, for the true patch, we know smin32=0 and smax32=32. With the upper 32bit 0xffffffff,
then the corresponding value is [0xffffffff00000000, 0xffffffff00000020]. The range is
obviously beyond the original range [smin=0xffffffff80000000,smax=0x7fffffff] and the
range is not possible. So the upper 32bit must be 0, which implies smin = smin32 and
smax = smax32.

This patch fixed the issue by adding additional register deduction after 32-bit compare
insn. If the signed 32-bit register range is non-negative then 64-bit smin is
in range of [S32_MIN, S32_MAX], then the actual 64-bit smin/smax should be the same
as 32-bit smin32/smax32.

With this patch, iters/iter_arr_with_actual_elem_count succeeded with better register range:

from 15 to 20: R0=rdonly_mem(id=7,ref_obj_id=2,sz=4) R1_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=31,var_off=(0x0; 0x1f)) R6=scalar(id=1,smin=umin=smin32=umin32=1,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=32,var_off=(0x0; 0x3f)) R7=scalar(id=9,smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) R8=scalar(id=9,smin=0,smax=umax=0xffffffff,var_off=(0x0; 0xffffffff)) R10=fp0 fp-8=iter_num(ref_id=2,state=active,depth=3) refs=2
