Re: [RFC 0/1] whitelisting UDP GSO and GRO cmsgs

[Victor Stewart <v@nametag.social>]

this being the list of UDP options.. i think we're good here? I'll put
together a new patch.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/b65054597872ce3aefbc6a666385eabdf9e288da/include/uapi/linux/udp.h#L30

/* UDP socket options */
#define UDP_CORK 1 /* Never send partially complete segments */
#define UDP_ENCAP 100 /* Set the socket to accept encapsulated packets */
#define UDP_NO_CHECK6_TX 101 /* Disable sending checksum for UDP6X */
#define UDP_NO_CHECK6_RX 102 /* Disable accpeting checksum for UDP6 */
#define UDP_SEGMENT 103 /* Set GSO segmentation size */
#define UDP_GRO 104 /* This socket can receive UDP GRO packets */
