nftables payload statements are used to mangle SCTP headers, but they can only replace the Internet Checksum. As a consequence, nftables rules that mangle sport/dport/vtag in SCTP headers potentially generate packets that are discarded by the receiver, unless the CRC-32C is "offloaded" (e.g the rule mangles a skb having 'ip_summed' equal to 'CHECKSUM_PARTIAL'. Fix this extending uAPI definitions and L4 checksum update function, in a way that userspace programs (e.g. nft) can instruct the kernel to compute CRC-32C in SCTP headers. Also ensure that LIBCRC32C is built if NF_TABLES is 'y' or 'm' in the kernel build configuration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
