We should allow csumed packet for small buffer, otherwise XDP_PASS won't work correctly. Fixes commit bb91accf2733 ("virtio-net: XDP support for small buffers") Signed-off-by: Jason Wang<jasowang@redhat.com>The issue would be VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID might be set. What do you think?I think it's safe. For XDP_PASS, it work like in the past.That's the part I don't get. With DATA_VALID csum in packet is wrong, XDP tools assume it's value.DATA_VALID is CHECKSUM_UNCESSARY on the host, and according to the comment in skbuff.h " * The hardware you're dealing with doesn't calculate the full checksum * (as in CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), but it does parse headers and verify checksums * for specific protocols. For such packets it will set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY * if their checksums are okay. skb->csum is still undefined in this case * though. A driver or device must never modify the checksum field in the * packet even if checksum is verified. " The csum is correct I believe? ThanksThat's on input. But I think for tun it's output, where that is equivalent to CHECKSUM_NONEYes, but the comment said: " CKSUM_NONE: * * The skb was already checksummed by the protocol, or a checksum is not * required. * * CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY: * * This has the same meaning on as CHECKSUM_NONE for checksum offload on * output. * " So still correct I think? ThanksHmm maybe I mean NEEDS_CHECKSUM actually. I'll need to re-read the spec.Not sure this is an issue. But if it is, we can probably checksum the packet before passing it to XDP. But it would be a little slow. Thanks
Right. I confused DATA_VALID with NEEDS_CHECKSUM. IIUC XDP generally refuses to attach if checksum offload is enabled. Could you pls explain how to reproduce the issue you are seeing? -- MST
