    net: more accurate checksumming in validate_xmit_skb() · 43c26a1a
    Davide Caratti authored
    skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to
    determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c
    (or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
    place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
    of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
    
    While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they
    are not present anymore in Linux  _ see commit cf53b1da ("Revert
     "net: Add driver helper functions to determine checksum offloadability"").
