I would agree if we had a m->outer_l4_len. Maybe we should add
it to be coherent with lX_len fields?

I think that to process the inner IP checksum, we should be able
to use these 2 notations:

Ether/IP/GRE/IP/UDP/xxx
  m->flags = OUTER_IP_CKSUM
  m->outer_l2_len = sizeof(ether)
  m->outer_l3_len = sizeof(ip)
  m->l2_len = sizeof(gre)
  m->l3_len = sizeof(ip)
  m->l4_len = sizeof(udp)

Ether/IP/GRE/IP/UDP/xxx
  m->flags = IP_CKSUM
  /* sum of all outer_lX_len and l2_len from above: */
  m->l2_len = sizeof(ether) + sizeof(ip) + sizeof(gre)
  m->l3_len = sizeof(ip)
  m->l4_len = sizeof(udp)

So, in case of vxlan, I suggest that either we include the size of
UDP in l2_len, or we add a outer_l4_len. What do you think?

Maybe adding outer_l4_len makes more sense.

Olivier
