In fou_udp_recv(), returning -fou->protocol to udp_queue_rcv_one_skb() triggers IP protocol resubmission when fou->protocol > 0, whereas returning 0 tells the UDP tunnel layer that the skb was consumed without freeing it. When a FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT socket is configured with FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO == 0, every received packet returns 0 from fou_udp_recv() and leaks the sk_buff. Reject FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT configurations with protocol 0 in parse_nl_config() and drop packets if !fou->protocol in fou_udp_recv().

The patch looks good to me. But the fixes tag is incorrect. Looks the LLM only find the tag based on the file name. Thanks Hangbin
