Hi,
the issue was so far handled in https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/ZsyMzW-4ee_U8NoX@eldamar.lan/T/#m390d6ef... and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219129
I haven’t seen any communication whether a backport for 5.15 is already in progress, so I thought I’d follow up here.
Someone needs to send a working set of patches to apply.
The following stack of patches applies cleanly to 5.15.166 (original SHA1s, git log order, so inverse of order to apply):
89add40066f9e net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in virtio_net_hdr 9840036786d9 gso: fix dodgy bit handling for GSO_UDP_L4 fc8b2a619469 net: more strict VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_L4 validation
All three are already present in 6.1.109
Please let me know if I should send that stack using git send-email, or whether this is sufficient into to backport.
I just tried it, they do not apply cleanly here for me at all :(
The third commit has one Fixes referencing them:
1382e3b6a350 net: change maximum number of UDP segments to 128
This simple -2/+2 line patch unfortunately cannot be backported without conflicts without backporting non-stable feature changes. There is a backport to 6.1.y, but that also won't apply cleanly to 5.15.166 without backporting a feature (e2a4392b61f6 "udp: introduce udp->udp_flags"), which itself does not apply cleanly.
So simplest is probably to fix up this commit and send it using git send-email. I can do that as part of the stack with the above 3 patches, or stand-alone if the above can be cherry-picked by SHA1.
Please send me a set of working, and tested, patches and we will be glad to consider it.
Done:

The following worked fine for me. I hope I did not overlook anything. Compile tested only. But as said, the same patches have landed in 6.1-stable.
git fetch linux-stable linux-5.15.y git checkout linux-stable/linux-5.15.y git cherry-pick fc8b2a619469 git cherry-pick 9840036786d9 git cherry-pick 89add40066f9e make defconfig make -j 64
Unfortunately, the key commit itself has a bug report against it. I am working on that right now.
But as the existing patch that it refers to in its Fixes has landed in all stable kernels and is causing reports, it is a backporting case of damned if we do, damned if we don't.
I intend to have a fix ready ASAP for netdev-net/main. If all stable branches have all backports, it should apply cleanly everywhere. Just not ready to be included in this series from the start.
