The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial
checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB
which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a
partial checksum). Therefore drop such frames on receive otherwise
they will trigger the warning in skb_gso_segment.

This looks redundant; why not something like:

That drops non-partial skbs. However they are fine unless they also
claim to be gso.

Perhaps you meant "skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL && !
skb_checksum_setup(skb)" which I think works but doesn't allow us to
correctly chain the gso check onto the else.

Ian.
