Handling exceptions for direct UDP encapsulation in GUE (that is,
UDP-in-UDP) leads to unbounded recursion in the GUE exception handler,
syzbot reported.
While draft-ietf-intarea-gue-06 doesn't explicitly forbid direct
encapsulation of UDP in GUE, it probably doesn't make sense to set up GUE
this way, and it's currently not even possible to configure this.
Skip exception handling if the GUE proto/ctype field is set to the UDP
protocol number. Should we need to handle exceptions for UDP-in-GUE one
day, we might need to either explicitly set a bound for recursion, or
implement a special iterative handling for these cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
