If:

1) the user requested USO, but 2) there is not enough payload for GSO to kick in, and 3) the egress device doesn't offer checksum offload, then

we want to compute the L4 checksum in software early on.

In the case when we are not taking the GSO path, but it has been requested, the software checksum fallback in skb_segment doesn't get a chance to compute the full checksum, if the egress device can't do it. As a result we end up sending UDP datagrams with only a partial checksum filled in, which the peer will discard.
