Ok, done. V4 uses this bit for SCTP only and leaves unmodified behavior
when offloaded FCoE frames are processed. Further work is still possible
to extend this fix for FCoE, if needed, either by using additional sk_buff
bits, or using skb->csum_not_ip and use other data (e.g. skb->csum_offset)
to distinguish SCTP from FCoE.

in V4 the bit is set when SCTP packets with offloaded checksum are
generated; the bit is cleared when CRC32c is resolved for such packets
(i.e. skb->ip_summed transitions from CHECKSUM_PARTIAL to CHECKSUM_NONE).
Any feedbacks are appreciated!
thank you in advance,

sk_buff: remove support for csum_bad in sk_buff
net: use skb->csum_not_inet to identify packets needing crc32c
net: more accurate checksumming in validate_xmit_skb()
openvswitch: more accurate checksumming in queue_userspace_packet()
sk_buff.h: improve description of CHECKSUM_{COMPLETE,UNNECESSARY}
