I did some tests with a 2.6.35 kernel version and it seems the checksum
errors do not appear.
I noticed there are some changes in the dummy setup function:
dev->features |= NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO;
dev->features |= NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA | NETIF_F_LLTX;
May be that was introduced by commit:

dummy: percpu stats and lockless xmit
Converts dummy network device driver to :
- percpu stats
- 64bit stats
- lockless xmit (NETIF_F_LLTX)
- performance features added (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST |
NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA)

Eric,
Andrian is observing, with a couple of macvlan (in bridge mode) on top
of a dummy interface, a lot of checksums error and packets drop.
Each macvlan is in a different network namespace and the dummy interface
is in the init_net.
Any ideas ?
