I think I figured out why, match "udp dst" does not work.  It seems to
depend on "nexthdr+0" which is an implicit variable, that for unknown
reasons are not set in my original rule (above).

Before you suggestion I managed to match the udp port by manually
defining the offset, assuming an IP-header is 20 bytes (no-options),
like:

tc filter add dev $device parent ffff: prio 4 protocol ip \
	u32 \
	match ip protocol 17 0xff \
	match udp dst $udp_port 0xffff at 21\
	flowid 1:1 \
	action drop

You solution with "ip dport" also works, but man[1] tc-u32(8) also have
a warning about "ip dport" size assumptions...

Updated my script to use "u32 match ip port":

Yes, that is the point ;-) XDP also does header parsing...
