Bug description:
  Virtualized network topologies that utilize encapsulation (e.g.,
  VXLAN) and bridging  may experience kernel errors of the format:

  The root cause of this is twofold:

  First, the kernel handling of forwarded packets that have been
  encapsulated (e.g., from VXLAN) for devices that support
  CHECKSUM_COMPLETE checksum offload fails to update the running
  checksum when decapsulating the packet.

  Second, for the enic device itself, the hardware is not correctly
  computing the checksum for some cases.

  Both of these issues are patched in mainline:
