Subject: net: skb_needs_check() accepts CHECKSUM_NONE for tx
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6e7bc478c9a006c701c14476ec9d389a484b4864 upstream.
My recent change missed fact that UFO would perform a complete
UDP checksum before segmenting in frags.
In this case skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE.
We need to add this valid case to skb_needs_check()
Fixes: b2504a5dbef3 ("net: reduce skb_warn_bad_offload() noise")
