How about IPv4, do these packets have problem? If not, can you
continue
advertising NETIF_F_IP_CSUM but take out NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM?
I changed code from (netdev->hw_features &= ~NETIF_F_HW_CSUM) to
(netdev->hw_features &= ~NETIF_F_ IPV6_CSUM). And it is not working.
Don't know why. IPV4 works without any change but IPv6 needs HW_CSUM
Disabled.
Now I changed to
netdev->hw_features &= (~NETIF_F_HW_CSUM) | NETIF_F_IP_CSUM;
And it works.
I investigated more on these features and found that we cannot set
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM
While NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is set. So I disabled NETIF_F_HW_CSUM first and enabled
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM in next statement. And it works fine.
But as per line 166 in include/linux/skbuff.h,
* NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are being deprecated in favor of
* NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. New devices should use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM to indicate
* checksum offload capability.
Please suggest which of below 2 I should do. As both works for me.
1. Disable completely NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and do nothing. This is original patch.
2. Enable NETIF_F_IP_CSUM in addition to 1. I can have v2 if this is accepted.
