Subject[PATCH] ipv6: ip6mr: Recalc UDP checksum before forwarding
Date
Currently, when forwarding from a Virtual Interface to a Physical
Interface, ip_summed is set to a value of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY and
the UDP checksum has not been calculated.

When the packet is then forwarded by a Multicast Router, the checksum
value is left as is and therefore rejected by the receiving
machine(s).

This patch ensures the checksum is recalculated before forwarding.

It's a bit ugly putting UDP specific code in this spot - but I'm not
aware of any other protocols that are:
a) multicast;
b) forwarded; and
c) checksummed
