    ms/netfilter: xt_checksum: ignore gso skbs
    
    Satish Patel reports a skb_warn_bad_offload() splat caused
    by -j CHECKSUM rules:
    
    -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j CHECKSUM
    
    The CHECKSUM target has never worked with GSO skbs, and the above rule
    makes no sense as kernel will handle checksum updates on transmit.
    
    Unfortunately, there are 3rd party tools that install such rules, so we
    cannot reject this from the config plane without potential breakage.
    
    Amend Kconfig text to clarify that the CHECKSUM target is only useful
    in virtualized environments, where old dhcp clients that use AF_PACKET
    used to discard UDP packets with a 'bad' header checksum and add a
    one-time warning in case such rule isn't restricted to UDP.

 	  This option adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
-	  table.
+	  table to work around buggy DHCP clients in virtualized environments.
 
-	  You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
-	  a packet that lacks a checksum.  This is particularly useful,
-	  if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients,
-	  that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to disable
-	  checksum offload in your device.
+	  Some old DHCP clients drop packets because they are not aware
+	  that the checksum would normally be offloaded to hardware and
+	  thus should be considered valid.
+	  This target can be used to fill in the checksum using iptables
+	  when such packets are sent via a virtual network device.
 
 	  To compile it as a module, choose M here.  If unsure, say N.
