RE: Should driver set CHECKSUM_COMPLETE for TCP pakcets

From: Yuval Mintz <hidden>

Consider a device that doesn't provide the complete checksum for entire Rx
packets, but does verify the checksums for several protocols.

Now, assuming the HW is capable of verifying TCP checksums - Should the driver
calculate the pseudo TCP checksum for such packets and pass those as
COMPLETE? Or should it stick to UNNECESSRAY?

[Specifically I'm interested for this for the FW gro implementation - it might be
possible to mark an entire aggregation as COMPLETE]

Thanks,
Yuval
