HNS receives a packet without doing anything, but it should call
skb_reset_mac_header() to initialize the header before using
eth_hdr().

Well, this patch made me look at this function.

You really shouldn't be filtering packets looped back, that is
the stack's job.  It shouldn't be happening in the driver.

If we use ping6 to test if it is connected to network, CPUs would send out the NS packets
and these packets will be looped back to CPUs. If driver does not drop these packets,
they will be sent to protocol stack and protocol stack consider that there is a device
with the same address and it is not available address. It will show us the log like
"connect: Cannot assign requested address". Then it can not connect to the network enviroment.
Thus, we drop these packets looped back in HNS driver.

Hi David,

What is the opinion about this issue? We need this patch to resolve the issue.

Hoping for your suggestions.

Many thanks,

Yisen

And once you remove that code, this patch here is no longer
necessary.

Second of all, unless you card supports every protocol that
exists in the past, present, and _future_ you cannot set
skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_UNNECSSARY unconditionally like
that.

You can only set that for protocols your chip actually supports.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will prepare a new patch to fix it.
