Okay, thank you for your suggestion. In order to avoid filtering out
those many invalid cases and only tracing the valid action of sending
a icmp, the next patch will add udd_fail_no_port trancepoint to the
include/trace/events/udp.h. This will solve the problem you mentioned
very well. At this point, only UDP protocol exceptions will be tracked,
without the need to track them in icmp_send.
