CHECKSUM_PARTIAL skbs should never arrive in ip_fragment. If we get one of those warn about them once and handle them gracefully by recalculating the checksum.

Is there a prior check somewhere that avoid this condition?
While I am pretty sure we should not hit the condition in IPv6 anymore, I think this could frighten people in IPv4 land. I will repost without the WARN_ON_ONCE. Maybe it makes sense to use the IFF_DEBUG interface flags again? :) I will repost without those WARN_ON_ONCEs. Bye, Hannes
