While there has been some activity regarding the UDP protocol lately,
almost nothing touched UDP in the 4.11 release cycle.
The issue you describe looks similar to the bug fixed by the commit
9bd780f5e066 ("udp: fix poll()"), but the bugged code is only in later
kernels.

Once that a system enter the buggy status, do the packets reach the
relevant socket's queue?
ss -u
nstat |grep -e Udp -e Ip
will help checking that.
