Can somebody tell me what skb_checksum does? How is it different from 
computing a TCP checksum and why is it necessary?
What does it return?

In tcp_input.c I see the following lines

if (tcp_checksum_complete_user(sk,, skb))
     goto csum_error;

tcp_checksum_complete goes through a series of function calls that finally 
result in a call to skb_checksum?

Why does it have to return a 0?

Thanks
