Most UDP tunnels bind a socket to a local port, with ANY address, no peer and no interface index specified. Additionally it's quite common to have a single tunnel device per namespace. Track in each namespace the UDP tunnel socket respecting the above. When only a single one is present, store a reference in the netns. When such reference is not NULL, UDP tunnel GRO lookup just need to match the incoming packet destination port vs the socket local port. The tunnel socket never sets the reuse[port] flag[s]. When bound to no address and interface, no other socket can exist in the same netns matching the specified local port. Matching packets with non-local destination addresses will be aggregated, and eventually segmented as needed - no behavior changes intended. Note that the UDP tunnel socket reference is stored into struct netns_ipv4 for both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels. That is intentional to keep all the fastpath-related netns fields in the same struct and allow cacheline-based optimization. Currently both the IPv4 and IPv6 socket pointer share the same cacheline as the `udp_table` field.

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 reStructuredText 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.
