Subject: netif_needs_gso behavior


Hello,

Please help me to understand why != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packet requires gso? In the case of TCP it is ok, however UDP could be normally unchecked.

netif_needs_gso() 
{
 	return skb_is_gso(skb) &&
 	       (!skb_gso_ok(skb, dev->features) ||
 		unlikely(skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL));
}

Thanks
