Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 0/8] Local Checksum Offload

Tested with VxLAN, GRE and FOU-IPIP tunnels.  Not tested with GENEVE,
 because iproute2 doesn't support enabling checksums on GENEVE tunnels.
Also tested VxLAN with IPv6 (as both inner and outer protocol).

Changes from v3:
 * Fixed inverted checksum values introduced in v3.
 * Don't mangle zero checksums in GRE.
 * Clear skb->encapsulation in iptunnel_handle_offloads when not using
   CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, lest drivers incorrectly interpret that as a request
   for inner checksum offload.

Changes from v2:
 * Added support for IPv4 GRE.
 * Split out 'always set up for checksum offload' into its own patch.
 * Removed csum_help from iptunnel_handle_offloads.
 * Rewrote LCO callers to only fold once.
 * Simplified nocheck handling.

Changes from v1:
 * Enabled support in more encapsulation protocols.
   I think it now covers everything except GRE.
 * Wrote up some documentation covering TX checksum offload, LCO and RCO.

Edward Cree (8):
  net: local checksum offload for encapsulation
  net: udp: always set up for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL offload
  net: enable LCO for udp_tunnel_handle_offloads() users
  net: vxlan: enable local checksum offload
  fou: enable LCO in FOU and GUE
  net: gre: Implement LCO for GRE over IPv4
  net: ip_tunnel: remove 'csum_help' argument to
    iptunnel_handle_offloads
  Documentation/networking: add checksum-offloads.txt to explain LCO
