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

From: Ismael Luceno
Date: Thu Apr 25 2024 - 12:29:19 EST


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.

Fixes: 90017accff61 ("sctp: Add GSO support", 2016-06-02)

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.
