net: Clarify meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for receive path The current meaning of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL for validating checksums is that _all_ checksums in the packet are considered valid. However, in the manner that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set only the checksum at csum_start+csum_offset and any preceding checksums may be considered valid. If there are checksums in the packet after csum_offset it is possible they have not been verfied. This patch changes CHECKSUM_PARTIAL logic in skb_csum_unnecessary and __skb_gro_checksum_validate_needed to only considered checksums referring to csum_start and any preceding checksums (with starting offset before csum_start) to be verified.
