        sctp_hdr() is valid in INPUT hook after commit
21d1196a35f5686c4323e42a62fdb4b23b0ab4a3 (ipv4: set transport header
earlier) but I'm not sure for the OUTPUT hook where
IPVS is working. I guess the same is valid for Netfilter.

        IPVS uses skb_network_header(skb) + offset but
I guess it can work with skb->data, just like Netfilter:

        __u32 crc32 = sctp_start_cksum(skb->data + offset,

        This should work also in SCTP where skb->data points
to the SCTP header when sctp_rcv_checksum() is called.

        crc32 var is not needed anymore, eg:

        sctph->checksum = sctp_compute_cksum(skb, sctphoff);

        The original code has bug here, still the code
was never used because there are no IPVS apps with
SCTP support. You can safely use sctphoff here, not 0, eg:

        val = sctp_compute_cksum(skb, sctphoff);
