I am seeing some errors after this patch, and I am not able to
understand why. Specifically, __skb_gro_checksum_complete() hits this
condition:

	wsum = skb_checksum(skb, skb_gro_offset(skb), skb_gro_len(skb), 0);

	/* NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum holds pseudo checksum */
	sum = csum_fold(csum_add(NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->csum, wsum));
	/* See comments in __skb_checksum_complete(). */
	if (likely(!sum)) {
		if (unlikely(skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE) &&
		    !skb->csum_complete_sw)
			netdev_rx_csum_fault(skb->dev, skb);
	}

To test, I am using a DSA switch network interface with an IPv4 address
and pinging through it.

The idea is as follows: an enetc port is attached to a switch, and that
switch places a frame header before the Ethernet header.
The enetc calculates the L2 payload (actually what it perceives as L2
payload, since it has no insight into the switch header format) checksum
and puts it in skb->csum:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/enetc/enetc.c#L726

Then, the switch driver packet type handler is invoked, and this strips
that header and recalculates the checksum (then it changes skb->dev and
this is how pinging is done through the DSA interface, but that is
irrelevant).
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/net/dsa/tag_ocelot.c#L56

There seems to be a disparity when the skb->csum is calculated by
skb_postpull_rcsum as zero. Before, it was calculated as 0xffff.

Below is a dump added by me in skb_postpull_rcsum when the checksums
calculated through both methods differ. I've kept the old implementation
inside skb->csum and this is what skb_dump() sees:

And below is the same output as above, but annotated by me with some comments:

Do you have some suggestions as to what may be wrong? Thanks.
