* [PATCH net-next v2] net: adjust skb_gso_segment() for calling in rx path

From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>

skb_gso_segment() is almost always called in tx path,
except for openvswitch. It calls this function when
it receives the packet and tries to queue it to user-space.
In this special case, the ->ip_summed check inside
skb_gso_segment() is no longer true, as ->ip_summed value
has different meanings on rx path.

This patch adjusts skb_gso_segment() so that we can at least
avoid such warnings on checksum.

That code wants a lot of unlikely() added.

It seems wrong to be adding code a very common path for one
obscure caller.

Perhaps the caller should be modifying the ip_summed field
(etc) to match the values expected for a tx skb.

Its caller does:

+       if (unlikely(skb_needs_check(skb, tx_path))) {

This is even uglier, you need to restore ip_summed after calling
skb_gso_segment().

In my experience that isn't enough to get all the sub-tests
of complex conditionals compiled in the desired way.
