From: Kevin Mitchell <kevmitch@xxxxxxxxxx>
The udp_error function verifies the checksum of incoming UDP packets if
one is set. This has the desirable side effect of setting skb->ip_summed
to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, signalling that this verification need not be
repeated further up the stack.
Conversely, when the UDP checksum is empty, which is perfectly legal (at least
inside IPv4), udp_error previously left no trace that the checksum had been
deemed acceptable.
This was a problem in particular for nf_reject_ipv4, which verifies the
checksum in nf_send_unreach() before sending ICMP_DEST_UNREACH. It makes
no accommodation for zero UDP checksums unless they are already marked
as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
This commit ensures packets with empty UDP checksum are marked as
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which is explicitly recommended in skbuff.h.
