From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>

Receiving VLAN packets over a device (without VLAN assist) that is
doing hardware checksumming (CHECKSUM_HW), causes errors because the
VLAN code forgets to adjust the hardware checksum.
