Thanks for testing!
I'm trying to reproduce the issue locally, but I'm unable. I think that the current UDP implementation is not affected, as we always ensure sk_receive_queue is empty before busy polling. Unix sockets should not be affected, too, as busy polling should not have any effect there (sk_napi_id should be never >= MIN_NAPI_ID). Can you reproduce the issue on an unpatched, recent, upstream kernel?
Can you please provide the syzkaller repro?
Thanks,
Paolo
