Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/2] udp: fix encapsulation packet resubmit in multicast deliver
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 02:10:36 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47dc3d5fe519dc3e0aafa934020a343d8306af1f.1782945956.git.littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1782945956.git.littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>
When a UDP encapsulation socket (e.g., FOU) receives a multicast
packet, __udp4_lib_mcast_deliver() and __udp6_lib_mcast_deliver()
call consume_skb() when udp_queue_rcv_skb() returns a positive value.
A positive return value from udp_queue_rcv_skb() indicates that the
encap_rcv handler (e.g., fou_udp_recv) has consumed the UDP header
and wants the packet to be resubmitted to the IP protocol handler
for further processing (e.g., as a GRE packet).
The unicast path in udp_unicast_rcv_skb() handles this correctly by
returning -ret, which propagates up to ip_protocol_deliver_rcu() for
resubmission. However, the multicast path destroys the packet via
consume_skb() instead of resubmitting it, causing silent packet loss.
This affects any UDP encapsulation (FOU, GUE) combined with multicast
destination addresses.
Fix this by returning -ret instead of calling consume_skb() when the
return value is positive, matching the behavior of the unicast path.
This avoids growing the call stack compared to calling
ip_protocol_deliver_rcu() directly.
