It looks good to me, thanks!

But skb_checksum_try_convert only need to be called after the checksum is
validated, so I suggested a better solution as following:

89 if (!skb_checksum_simple_validate(skb)) {
90 skb_checksum_try_convert(skb, IPPROTO_GRE, 0,
91 null_compute_pseudo);
92 } else if (csum_err) {
93 *csum_err = true;
94 return -EINVAL;
95 }
