While there has been some activity regarding the UDP protocol lately, almost nothing touched UDP in the 4.11 release cycle. The issue you describe looks similar to the bug fixed by the commit 9bd780f5e066 ("udp: fix poll()"), but the bugged code is only in later kernels.  > Any idea what might be happening here and what else I could try? Once that a system enter the buggy status, do the packets reach the relevant socket's queue? ss -u nstat |grep -e Udp -e Ip will help checking that. Thanks, Paol
