Interesting, thanks for the info !

Now it's allowed to exceed by the total size of the incoming skb
on every CPUs, and a user may notice that rmem > rcvbuf via ss,
but I guess it's allowed because the fast recovery is expected.

Maybe like this ?

        if (rcvbuf < UDP_MIN_RCVBUF) {
                if (rmem > rcvbuf)
                        goto drop;
        } else {
                if (rmem + size > rcvbuf)
                        goto drop;
        }

SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF is 2K + skb since 2013, but the regression was
reported after that in 2016, so UDP_MIN_RCVBUF would be more ?

But I wonder if adding new branches in the fast path is worth for
the corner case, and that's why I chose integrating the cast into
the exisintg branch, allowing a small overflow, which is observable
only when no thread calls recv() and skbs are queued more than INT_MAX.
