If parse_ipv6hdr()\nprocesses a non-first IPv6 fragment, it sets key->ip.proto to\nNEXTHDR_FRAGMENT and returns early without calling\nskb_set_transport_header().\n\nupdate_ipv6_checksum() unconditionally evaluates skb_transport_offset()\non entry before checking l4_proto.  Because skb->transport_header is\nuninitialized, this triggers a warning under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y although\nit is completely harmless.\n\nFix this by returning early in update_ipv6_checksum() if l4_proto is\nNEXTHDR_FRAGMENT. This avoids reading the uninitialized transport offset\nfor fragments while preserving the debug warning for any other protocol\nwhere the transport header is unexpectedly missing.\n\nSee the syzbot trace:\n\n!skb_transport_header_was_set(skb)\nWARNING: ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 at skb_transport_header include/linux/skbuff.h:3075 [inline], CPU#1: syz-executor463/5635\nWARNING:
