[PATCH net 2/5] openvswitch: Fix checksum calculation when modifying ICMPv6 packets.

From: Pravin B Shelar <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-15 01:37:39
Subsystem: networking [general], openvswitch, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Aaron Conole, Eelco Chaudron, Ilya Maximets, Linus Torvalds

From: Jesse Gross <redacted>

The checksum of ICMPv6 packets uses the IP pseudoheader as part of
the calculation, unlike ICMP in IPv4. This was not implemented,
which means that modifying the IP addresses of an ICMPv6 packet
would cause the checksum to no longer be correct as the psuedoheader
did not match.
Introduced by commit 3fdbd1ce11e5 ("openvswitch: add ipv6 'set' action").
