Okay, I think I understand what you are doing. I suggest in the
openvswitch path, if there is a checksum CHECKSUM_PARTIAL that refers
to the outer headers which must have been verified at this point then
set to CHECKSUM_NONE-- assuming CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on the inner
header is not correct in this case. If the CHECKSUM_PARTIAL refers to
the inner header then you can call skb_checksum_help to resolve an
inner checksum.
