This indentation is wrong. The 2nd line should start right after the (
column in the 1st line, like:
+	if (ipv6h->nexthdr == NEXTHDR_UDP &&
+	    skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) {
Adjust with spaces as needed.

Running the patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl before posting will
catch these.

                              ^  same deal here.
