Commit 9fd1ff5d2ac7 ("udp: Support UDP fraglist GRO/GSO.") actually
not only added a support for fraglisted UDP GRO, but also tweaked
some logics the way that non-fraglisted UDP GRO started to work for
forwarding too.
Tests showed that currently forwarding and NATing of plain UDP GRO
packets are performed fully correctly, regardless if the target
netdevice has a support for hardware/driver GSO UDP L4 or not.
Add the last element and allow to form plain UDP GRO packets if
there is no socket -> we are on forwarding path.

Plain UDP GRO forwarding even shows better performance than fraglisted
UDP GRO in some cases due to not wasting one skbuff_head per every
segment.

The second check for sk in "(sk && udp_sk(sk)->gro_enabled)" is 
redundant and can be dropped. You already verified it is present when 
you checked for !sk before the logical OR.

Your patch is very similar with the RFC what I submitted but has
different approach. My concern was NAT forwarding.
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1362257/

Nevertheless, I agreed with your idea that allow fraglisted UDP GRO
if there is socket.

is_flist can be true even if !sk.

Actually sk would be NULL by udp_encap_needed_key in udp4_gro_receive
or udp6_gro_receive.

udp_gro_receive_segment will check is_flist first and try to do
fraglisted UDP GRO. Can you check what I'm missing?

Sorry, Alexander Duyck. I believe Alexander Lobakin will answer this.

Not really. You tried to forbid forwarding of fraglisted UDP GRO
packets, I allow forwarding of plain UDP GRO packets.
With my patch on, you can switch between plain and fraglisted UDP GRO
with the command:

ethtool -K eth0 rx-gro-list on/off

Recheck my change. There's ||, not &&.

As I said in the commit message, forwarding and NATing of plain
UDP GRO packets are performed correctly, both with and without
driver-side support, so it's safe to enable.

Also, as I said in reply to your RFC, NATing of UDP GRO fraglists
is performed correctly if driver is aware of it and advertises a
support for fraglist GSO.
If not, then there may be problems you described. But the idea to
forbid forwarding and NATing of any UDP GRO skbs is an absolute
overkill.

I think you miss that is_flist is set to true *only* if the receiving
netdevice has NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST feature on.
If it's not, stack will form a non-fraglisted UDP GRO skb. That was
tested multiple times.

Alex are right, I'll simplify the condition in v2. Thanks!
