[PATCH v2] ipvs: Fix checksumming on GSO of SCTP packets

From: Ismael Luceno
Date: Sun Apr 21 2024 - 10:23:01 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)
