[PATCH v3 net-next 09/15] udp: Remove UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV and UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV.

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com>
Date: 2026-03-11 05:20:41
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest, user datagram protocol (udp) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds, Willem de Bruijn

UDP-Lite supports variable-length checksum and has two socket
options, UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV and UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV, to control
the checksum coverage.

Let's remove the support.

setsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was only
available for UDP-Lite and returned -ENOPROTOOPT for UDP.

Now, the options are handled in ip_setsockopt() and
ipv6_setsockopt(), which still return the same error.

getsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was available
for UDP and always returned 0, meaning full checksum, but now
-ENOPROTOOPT is returned.

Given that getsockopt() is meaningless for UDP and even the options
are not defined under include/uapi/, this should not be a problem.

  $ man 7 udplite
  ...
  BUGS
       Where glibc support is missing, the following definitions
       are needed:

           #define IPPROTO_UDPLITE     136
           #define UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV  10
           #define UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV  11
