The XDP program can't correctly handle partially checksummed
packets, but works fine with fully checksummed packets.

Not sure this is ture, if I was not wrong, XDP can try to calculate checksum.

XDP's interface serves a full checksum,

What do you mean by "serve" here? I mean, XDP can calculate the
checksum and fill it in the packet by itself.

Yes, XDP can parse and calculate checksums for all packets.
However, the bpf_csum_diff and bpf_l4_csum_replace APIs provided by XDP assume
that the packets being processed are fully checksumed packets. That is,
after the XDP program modified the packets, the incremental checksum can be
calculated (for example, samples/bpf/tcbpf1_kern.c, samples/bpf/test_lwt_bpf.c).

Therefore, partially checksummed packets cannot be processed normally in these
examples and need to be discarded.

and this is why we disabled the
offloading of VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM when loading XDP.

If we trust the device to disable VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM, any reason
to check VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM again in the receive path?

There doesn't seem to be a mandatory constraint in the spec that devices that
haven't negotiated VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM cannot set NEEDS_CSUM bit, so I check this.

Thanks.

If the
device has already validated fully checksummed packets, then
the driver doesn't need to re-validate them, saving CPU resources.

Additionally, the driver does not drop all partially checksummed
packets when VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM is not negotiated. This is
not a bug, as the driver has always done this.
