+Subject: [PATCH] udp: gso: Fix handling checksum in __udp_gso_segment
+
+The cited commit started using msslen for uh->len, but still uses newlen
+to adjust uh->check. Although the checksum is ignored in most cases due
+to the hardware offload, __udp_gso_segment attempts to maintain the
+correct one. Fix uh->check and adjust it by the right value.
+
+Additionally, after the fix, newlen becomes assigned and unused before
+the loop. The code can be simplified a bit if mss adjustment is dropped,
+so that newlen becomes equal to msslen before the loop, and msslen can
+be also dropped, saving a few lines of code.
+
+This brings us back to one variable, drops an unneeded arithmetic for
+mss, and fixes the UDP checksum.
+
+Fixes: b10b446ce7ad ("udp: gso: Use single MSS length in UDP header for 
GSO_PARTIAL")
