GUE healthcheck fails with self IP

We are trying to deploy our load-balancers as an all in one box, which means all our load-balancers will run both a L4 and a L7 loadbalancing dameon. While deploying GLB we noticed that each GLB instance on our all-in-one LB host, can redirect packets to other load-balancers' L7 ports, but not to it's own L7 port because GUE healthcheck fails.

This is the output of the _forwardingtable.src.json file in all our all-in-one loadbalancers (192.168.152.40, 192.168.152.41, 192.168.152.43)

    {
      "name": "first_table",
      "hash_key": "12345678901234561234567890123456",
      "seed": "34567890123456783456789012345678",
      "binds": [
        { "ip": "130.30.30.30", "proto": "tcp", "port": 80 },
        { "ip": "fdb4:98ce:52d4::42", "proto": "tcp", "port": 80 }
      ],
      "backends": [
        { "ip": "192.168.152.40", "state": "active", "healthchecks": {"http": 80, "gue": 19523} },
        { "ip": "192.168.152.41", "state": "active", "healthchecks": {"http": 80, "gue": 19523} },
        { "ip": "192.168.152.43", "state": "active", "healthchecks": {"http": 80, "gue": 19523} }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

And this is the output of our ip configuration:


3: enp0s8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 xdpgeneric/id:51 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000

The output of ip fou show port 19523 gue

          "state": "active",
          "healthy": true,
          "healthchecks": {
            "http": 80,
            "gue": 19523
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The output of this file is taken form the LB instance with the IP address of "192.168.152.40" and as you can see 192.168.152.40 is showed as unhealthy. On another instance for example on "192.168.152.41", "192.168.152.40" and "192.168.152.43" is seen as healthy whereas "192.168.152.41" is seen as unhealthy.

Any help is appreciated.
