From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> commit 4f2e4ad56a65f3b7d64c258e373cb71e8d2499f4 upstream.
Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP. UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum, and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted packet. Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport. This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.
