[PATCH v3] ipvs: Fix checksumming on GSO of SCTP packets

[PATCH v3] ipvs: Fix checksumming on GSO of SCTP packets

[Ismael Luceno]

It was observed in the wild that pairs of consecutive packets would leave
the IPVS with the same wrong checksum, and the issue only went away when
disabling GSO.

IPVS needs to avoid computing the SCTP checksum when using GSO.

Notes:
    Changes since v2:
    * Use only skb_is_gso, no need to check for GSO type
    
    Changes since v1:
    * Added skb_is_gso before skb_is_gso_sctp.
    * Added "Fixes" tag.

	v2 is already applied. I acked it because sctp_gso_segment()
checks for skb_is_gso_sctp(). If v3 is just an optimization
better to live with v2? Is it possible to see skb_is_gso() but
not skb_is_gso_sctp() while working with SCTP packet?

v2 is already in the tree, if the change is important you need to send
an incremental fix.

This patch went already upstream.

It was no clear to me that a v3 was needed.

You will have to post a follow up.
