            Bug ID: 206089
           Summary: veth, virtio tx checksum wrong, forwarding drops
                    packets
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.3.0-24-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: IPV4
          Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
          Reporter: hcoin@quietfountain.com
        Regression: No

Both using ipv4 and ipv6 when iface below is a:
virtio net driver in a kvm 
and
on baremetal when one end of a veth pair when the other end is in a filtering
bridge:

ethtool -K iface tx-checksum-ip-generic on
echo -n "rsschecksum test" | nc -w 3 -4 -u -b -s 192.168.172.3 192.168.172.63
52722
tcpdump -e -p -c 3 -n -vv -i iface ...

But when

ethtool -K iface tx-checksum-ip-generic off
echo -n "rsschecksum test" | nc -w 3 -4 -u -b -s 192.168.172.3 192.168.172.63

The problem was detected when packets got dropped passing through all-linux
routers and filtering vlan bridges.  A vanilla VM instance running chrony on
one VM couldn't access an ntpsec time server on a different subnet running on
bare metal on a physically adjacent server using ipv6.   The above examples are
ip4, but the results are the same with ip6.  The above examples are udp, the
results are the same with tcp.
