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
