https://git.kernel.org/linus/ca4ef4574f1ee5252e2cd365f8f5d5bafd048f32

> ip: fix IP_CHECKSUM handling
> 
> The skbs processed by ip_cmsg_recv() are not guaranteed to
> be linear e.g. when sending UDP packets over loopback with
> MSGMORE.
> Using csum_partial() on [potentially] the whole skb len
> is dangerous; instead be on the safe side and use skb_checksum().
