I'm no expert on this code, but commit 401cb7dae813 that introduced
bpf_net_ctx_set explicitly states that nested calls are allowed.

And the function does imply that:

static inline struct bpf_net_context *bpf_net_ctx_set(struct bpf_net_context *bpf_net_ctx)
{
         struct task_struct *tsk = current;

         if (tsk->bpf_net_context != NULL)
                 return NULL;
         bpf_net_ctx->ri.kern_flags = 0;

         tsk->bpf_net_context = bpf_net_ctx;
         return bpf_net_ctx;
}

I agree with Willem, the ctx nesting looks legit generally speaking. @Jeongjun: you need to track down more accurately the issue root cause and include such info into the commit message.

Skimming over the code I *think* do_xdp_generic() is not cleaning the nested context in all the paths before return and that could cause the reported issue.

Thanks,
