Cyril Strejc 9122a70a63 net: multicast: calculate csum of looped-back and forwarded packets 
During a testing of an user-space application which transmits UDP
multicast datagrams and utilizes multicast routing to send the UDP
datagrams out of defined network interfaces, I've found a multicast
router does not fill-in UDP checksum into locally produced, looped-back
and forwarded UDP datagrams, if an original output NIC the datagrams
are sent to has UDP TX checksum offload enabled.

The datagrams are sent malformed out of the NIC the datagrams have been
forwarded to.

It is because:

1. If TX checksum offload is enabled on the output NIC, UDP checksum
   is not calculated by kernel and is not filled into skb data.

2. dev_loopback_xmit(), which is called solely by
   ip_mc_finish_output(), sets skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
   unconditionally.

3. Since 35fc92a9 ("[NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except
   CHECKSUM_COMPLETE"), the ip_summed value is preserved during
   forwarding.

4. If ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, checksum is not calculated during
   a packet egress.

The minimum fix in dev_loopback_xmit():

1. Preserves skb->ip_summed CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is the
   case when the original output NIC has TX checksum offload enabled.
   The effects are:

     a) If the forwarding destination interface supports TX checksum
        offloading, the NIC driver is responsible to fill-in the
        checksum.

     b) If the forwarding destination interface does NOT support TX
        checksum offloading, checksums are filled-in by kernel before
        skb is submitted to the NIC driver.

     c) For local delivery, checksum validation is skipped as in the
        case of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thanks to skb_csum_unnecessary().

2. Translates ip_summed CHECKSUM_NONE to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. It
   means, for CHECKSUM_NONE, the behavior is unmodified and is there
   to skip a looped-back packet local delivery checksum validation.

README 

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.
