[PATCH] staging/octeon: Software should check the checksum of no tcp/udp packets

From: <hidden>
Date: 2011-09-26 01:08:04
Also in: linux-mips
Subsystem: staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

From: Roy.Li <redacted>

Icmp packets with wrong checksum are never dropped since
skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

When icmp packets with wrong checksum pass through the octeon
net driver, the not_IP, IP_exc, L4_error hardware indicators
show no error. so the driver sets CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on
skb->ip_summed.

L4_error only works for TCP/UDP, not for ICMP.
