[PATCH net] mlx4: TCP/UDP packets have L4 hash

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2015-07-02 11:24:48

From: Eric Dumazet <redacted>

Mellanox driver has the knowledge if rxhash is a L4 hash,
if it receives a non fragmented TCP or UDP frame and
NETIF_F_RXCSUM is enabled on netdev.

ip_summed value is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in this case.

Thanks Eric,

We can have a relaxation of the condition  by looking only at TCP/UDP CQE indication (without check-sum indications)
This can cover us also when device rx-checksuming feature is off.
Do we want it or a correlation between check-sum and l4_hash is needed?

I thought about that, but this was adding a more complex test in fast
path.

Not sure we should care here, as nobody would disable hardware checksum
if they care about performance.
