Re: [PATCH] udp: Add support for getsockopt(..., ..., UDP_GRO, ..., ...)

[Norman Maurer]

Friendly ping… 

As this missing change was most likely an oversight in the original commit I do think it should go into 5.12 and subsequently stable as well. That’s also the reason why I didn’t send a v2 and changed the commit message / subject for the patch. For me it clearly is a bug and not a new feature.


Thanks
Norman
