Title: [Hyper-V] netvsc: fix incorrect receive checksum offloading Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Precise: Triaged Status in linux source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in linux source package in Vivid: Triaged Status in linux source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in linux source package in Yakkety: Triaged Bug description: The Hyper-V netvsc driver was looking at the incorrect status bits in the checksum info. It was setting the receive checksum unnecessary flag based on the IP header checksum being correct. The checksum flag is skb is about TCP and UDP checksum status. Because of this bug, any packet received with bad TCP checksum would be passed up the stack and to the application causing data corruption. The problem is reproducible via netcat and netem. This had a side effect of not doing receive checksum offload on IPv6. The driver was also also always doing checksum offload independent of the checksum setting done via ethtool.
