I considered about changing lwt side logic. But it would bring larger
impact since there are multiple types of encaps on this hook, not just
bpf redirect. Changing bpf return values is a minimum change on the
other hand. In addition, returning value of NET_RX_DROP and
NET_XMIT_CN are the same, so if we don't do something in bpf redirect,
there is no way to distinguish them later: the former is considered as
an error, while "CN" is considered as non-error.

You are correct this path would leak skb. Return continue (or drop)
would avoid the leak. Personally I'd prefer drop instead to signal the
error setup. Since this is a separate issue, do you want to send a
separate patch on this? Or I am happy to do it if you prefer.

Unfortunately we cannot return res directly here when res > 0. This is
the final reason why I didn't patch here. Return values here can be
propagated back to sendmsg syscall, so returning a positive value
would break the syscall convention.
