It looks good to me, thanks!

But skb_checksum_try_convert only need to be called after the checksum is 
validated, so I suggested a better solution as following:

   89                 if (!skb_checksum_simple_validate(skb)) {
   90                         skb_checksum_try_convert(skb, IPPROTO_GRE, 0,
   91                                                  null_compute_pseudo);
   92                 } else if (csum_err) {
   93                         *csum_err = true;
   94                         return -EINVAL;
   95                 }
