Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: sched: act_tunnel_key: UDP checksums

Currently, the tunnel_key tc action does not set TUNNEL_CSUM, thus
transmitting packets with zero UDP checksum. This is inconsistent with how
we treat non-lwt UDP tunnels where the default is to fill in the UDP
checksum. Non-zero UDP checksum is the better default anyway for various
reasons previously discussed.

Make this configurable for the tunnel_key tc action with the default being
non-zero checksum. Saves a lot of surprises especially with IPv6.

  net: sched: act_tunnel_key: request UDP checksum by default
  net: sched: act_tunnel_key: make UDP checksum configurable
