I believe you are right. This sounds like the issue addressed by commit
acf8dd0a9d0b ("udp: only allow UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM sockets")
except for a regular SOCK_DGRAM socket with SO_NO_CHECK option. If so,
changing both instances of the check
(sk->sk_type == SOCK_DGRAM)
added by this commit to
(sk->sk_type == SOCK_DGRAM) && !sk->sk_no_check_tx
should fix the problem (and it should be done even if the issue reported
here is caused by something else).
