Hi Cong,

I love your patch! Perhaps something to improve:

[auto build test WARNING on net/master]

url:    https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Cong-Wang/mlx5-fixup-checksum-for-ethernet-padding/20181130-014928
config: ia64-allmodconfig (attached as .config)
compiler: ia64-linux-gcc (GCC) 8.1.0
reproduce:
        wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/lkp-tests/master/sbin/make.cross -O ~/bin/make.cross
        chmod +x ~/bin/make.cross
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        GCC_VERSION=8.1.0 make.cross ARCH=ia64 

Note: it may well be a FALSE warning. FWIW you are at least aware of it now.

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):
