If:
1) the user requested USO, but
2) there is not enough payload for GSO to kick in, and
3) the egress device doesn't offer checksum offload, then
we want to compute the L4 checksum in software early on.
In the case when we are not taking the GSO path, but it has been requested,
the software checksum fallback in skb_segment doesn't get a chance to
compute the full checksum, if the egress device can't do it. As a result we
end up sending UDP datagrams with only a partial checksum filled in, which
the peer will discard.
Fixes: 10154dbded ("udp: Allow GSO transmit from devices with no checksum offload")

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 reStructuredText 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.
