[PATCH nf-next v2 1/1] netfilter: conntrack: skip verification of zero UDP checksum

From: Kevin Mitchell
Date: Fri Apr 08 2022 - 00:34:03 EST


The checksum is optional for UDP packets in IPv4. However nf_reject
would previously require a valid checksum to elicit a response such as
ICMP_DEST_UNREACH.

Add some logic to nf_reject_verify_csum to determine if a UDP packet has
a zero checksum and should therefore not be verified. Explicitly require
a valid checksum for IPv6 consistent RFC 2460 and with the non-netfilter
stack (see udp6_csum_zero_error).
