Thank you for working on this. 

I just gave a very quick look (the WE has started, children are
screaming ;-), overall the implementation seems quite similar to our
one.

I like the additional argument to  ip_cmsg_recv_offset() instead of
keeping skb->sk set.

If I read udp_skb_destructor() correctly, the atomic manipulation of
both sk_rmem_alloc and udp_memory_allocated will happen under the
receive lock. In our experiments this increment measurably the
contention on the lock in respect to moving said the operations outside
the lock (as done in our patch). Do you foreseen any issues with that ?
AFAICS every in kernel UDP user of skb_recv_datagram() needs to be
updated with both implementation.

Cheers,

Paolo
