Oh! Sorry for the noise, I misunderstood your scenario. The answer is 
that XDP_TX will cause packet loss in this scenario.

For XDP_TX, flags in virtnet hdr are reset to 0, so if there is XDP on 
the rx side, the process of converting xdp_buff (if XDP_PASS)
to skb will reset skb->csum_{start, offset} to 0. Therefore, the packets 
carrying partial csum sent out by XDP_TX will be lost
(with or without this patch, the result is the same).
This situation is actually similar to XDP_PASS without this patch: all 
XDP_PASS packets carrying partial csum will also be dropped.

Therefore, I think the XDP program is mainly designed for packets with 
complete checksums (XDP does not have a design for packets
with partial csum, which brings about the problem that this patch is 
trying to solve). This test(xdp_tx_iptunnel_kern.c) causes no packet
loss when the packet has a complete checksum.

The XDP_TX situation is complicated when the checksum of the packet is 
partial csum.
So the problem temporarily solved by this patch is: the packet loss 
problem when the checksum of the data packet is partial csum
(flags in virtnethdr is marked as NEEDS_CSUM ) and XDP_PASS is converted 
to skb.

Thanks!
