	Thanks for the fix, I'll accept this but skb_is_gso_sctp()
has comment for pre-condition: skb_is_gso(skb). Can you send v2
with it?

	I'm guessing what should be the Fixes line, may be?:

Fixes: 90017accff61 ("sctp: Add GSO support")

	because SCTP GSO was added after the IPVS code? Or the
more recent commit d02f51cbcf12 which adds skb_is_gso_sctp ?
