I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:
- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simply code
What is in this third patch set:
- Remove sk_no_check from sunrpc (doesn't seem to have any effect)
- Eliminate no_check from protosw. All protocols are using default of
zero for this
- Split sk_no_check into sk_no_check_tx and sk_no_check_rx
- Make enabling of UDP6 more restrictive and explicit
- Support zero UDP6 checksums in l2tp
Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)
