Subject: knfsd: avoid checksum checks when collecting metadata for a UDP packet
From: NeilBrown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When recv_msg is called with a size of 0 and MSG_PEEK (and sunrpc/svcsock.c
does), it is clear that we only interested in metadata (from/to addresses) and
not the data, so don't do any checksum checking at this point. Leave that
until the data is requested.
