We don't disable VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM if XDP was set. This means we
can receive partial csumed packets with metadata kept in the
vnet_hdr. This may have several side effects:

- It could be overridden by header adjustment, thus is might be not
   correct after XDP processing.
- There's no way to pass such metadata information through
   XDP_REDIRECT to another driver.
- XDP does not support checksum offload right now.

So simply disable guest csum if possible in this the case of XDP.

Fixes: 3f93522ffab2d ("virtio-net: switch off offloads on demand if possible on XDP set")

Applied and queued up for -stable.

We really should have a way to use the checksum provided if the XDP
program returns XDP_PASS and does not modify the packet contents
or size.


Yes, I think this may require the assistance of BPF verifier to set a flag or other. Then we can assume the metadata is safe to use.

Thanks
