Title
fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: remove warn in gue_gro_receive on unsupported protocol
Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE inn gue_gro_receive if the encapsulated type is
not known or does not have a GRO handler.
Such a packet is easily constructed. Syzbot generates them and sets
off this warning.
Remove the warning as it is expected and not actionable.
The warning was previously reduced from WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE in
commit 270136613bf7 ("fou: Do WARN_ON_ONCE in gue_gro_receive for bad
proto callbacks").

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
