Title:
  Backport request for fix for IPsec UDP GRO option issue

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since kernel v6.7, GRO offloading of UDP-encapsulated ESP packets is
  supported. This is enabled for individual UDP sockets via the
  UDP_ENCAP_ESPINUDP and UDP_GRO options.

  Unfortunately, the original implementation caused issues in some
  cases. In particular, if the esp4_offload/esp6_offload modules are not
  loaded (the default). This could prevent IKE or UDP-encapsulated ESP
  packets from getting received on such a socket. As this happens in the
  kernel's GRO layer, there is no indication to the user that a packet
  was received and dropped (e.g. in tcpdump/Wireshark or Netfilter). So
  it's difficult to debug.

  A fix for this issue was included in v6.15 and backported to the two
  affected stable/longterm trees (6.14 and 6.12):

  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e3fd0577768584ece824c8b661c40fb3d912812a

  But because the kernels in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (HWE) and 24.04 LTS (HWE)
  are 6.8 and 6.11, which are both affected but no official longterm
  kernels, the fix might not get backported automatically.

  So I'd like to request a backport explicitly because we intend to
  enable the UDP_GRO option in the next strongSwan release, which some
  users are likely going to run on Ubuntu LTS.
