> TX checksum of a tunnelled packet can be calculated for outer headers only or
> for both outer and inner parts. The calculation method is determined by
> application.
> If TX checksum calculation can be offloaded, hardware ignores existing
> checksum value and replaces it with an updated result.
> If TX checksum is calculated by a software, existing value must be zeroed first.
> The testpmd checksum forwarding engine always zeroed inner checksums.
> If inner checksum calculation was offloaded, that header was left with 0
> checksum value.
> Following outer software checksum calculation produced wrong value.
> The patch zeroes inner IPv4 checksum only before software calculation.
