3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> commit 273160ffc6b993c7c91627f5a84799c66dfe4dee upstream. sctp_hdr(skb) only works when skb->transport_header is set properly. But in Netfilter, skb->transport_header for ipv6 is not guaranteed to be right value for sctphdr. It would cause to fail to check the checksum for sctp packets. So fix it by using offset, which is always right in all places. v1->v2: - Fix the changelog.
