The current kernel doesn't verify the udp checksum if user doesn't set a socket filter.It's fine for LAN. But for WAN, it's not a good option. Shall we fix it? Below is the patch to make udp checksum be always available. [IPV4] UDP: Always checksum even if without socket filter Make udp checksum be always available even if without socket filter.

It checks the checksum in udp_recvmsg() and udp_poll(). Please do not fix bugs via code inspection without writing test programs to validate whether there is really a "bug" here or not.
