In certain cases, napi_get_frags() returns an skb that points to an old received fragment, This skb may have its skb->ip_summed, csum, and other fields set from previous fragment handling. Some network drivers set skb->ip_summed to either CHECKSUM_COMPLETE or CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when getting skb from napi_get_frags(), while others only set skb->ip_summed when RX checksum offload is enabled on the device, and do not set any value for skb->ip_summed when hardware checksum offload is disabled, assuming that the skb->ip_summed initiated to zero by napi_reuse_skb, ionic driver for example will ignore/unset any value for the ip_summed filed if HW checksum offload is disabled, and if we have a situation where the user disables the checksum offload during a traffic that could lead to the following errors shown in the kernel logs: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x48 __skb_gro_checksum_complete+0x7e/0x90 tcp6_gro_receive+0xc6/0x190 ipv6_gro_receive+0x1ec/0x430 dev_gro_receive+0x188/0x360 ? ionic_rx_clean+0x25a/0x460 [ionic] napi_gro_frags+0x13c/0x300 ? __pfx_ionic_rx_service+0x10/0x10 [ionic] ionic_rx_service+0x67/0x80 [ionic] ionic_cq_service+0x58/0x90 [ionic] ionic_txrx_napi+0x64/0x1b0 [ionic] __napi_poll+0x27/0x170 net_rx_action+0x29c/0x370 handle_softirqs+0xce/0x270 __irq_exit_rcu+0xa3/0xc0 common_interrupt+0x80/0xa0 </IRQ> This inconsistency sometimes leads to checksum validation issues in the upper layers of the network stack. To resolve this, this patch clears the skb->ip_summed value for each reused skb in by napi_reuse_skb(), ensuring that the caller is responsible for setting the correct checksum status. This eliminates potential checksum validation issues caused by improper handling of skb->ip_summed.
