Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/2] bpf: Update transport_header when encapsulating UDP tunnel in lwt

From: Leon Hwang <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 22:26:49 +0800

Currently, bpf_lwt_push_ip_encap() does not update skb->transport_header.
When a driver, e.g. ice, reuses the stale skb->transport_header to
offload checksum computation to NIC hardware, VxLAN packets encapsulated
by bpf_lwt_push_encap() helper may be dropped due to incorrect checksum.

Update skb->transport_header in bpf_lwt_push_ip_encap() whenever the
encapsulated packet uses UDP, so checksum offload works correctly.

Fixes: 52f278774e79 ("bpf: implement BPF_LWT_ENCAP_IP mode in bpf_lwt_push_encap")
