    xen-netback: make sure skb linear area covers checksum field · d52eb0d4

    skb_partial_csum_set requires that the linear area of the skb covers the
    checksum field. The checksum setup code in netback was only doing that
    pullup in the case when the pseudo header checksum was being recalculated
    though. This patch makes that pullup unconditional. (I pullup the whole
    transport header just for simplicity; the requirement is only for the check
    field but in the case of UDP this is the last field in the header and in the
    case of TCP it's the last but one).
    
    The lack of pullup manifested as failures running Microsoft HCK network
    tests on a pair of Windows 8 VMs and it has been verified that this patch
    fixes the problem.
