[PATCH V2 net-next] net: hns: Fix to conditionally convey RX checksum flag to stack

From: Salil Mehta
Date: Tue Nov 29 2016 - 08:10:37 EST


This patch introduces the RX checksum function to check the
status of the hardware calculated checksum and its error and
appropriately convey status to the upper stack in skb->ip_summed
field.

We only support checksum for IPv4, UDP(over IPv4 or IPv6),
TCP(over IPv4 or IPv6) and SCTP but we support many L3(IPv4, IPv6,
MPLS, PPPoE etc) and L4(TCP, UDP, GRE, SCTP, IGMP, ICMP etc.)
protocols. We want to filter out L3 and L4 protocols early on for
which checksum is not supported.

Our present hardware RX Descriptor lacks L3/L4 "Checksum
Status & Error" bit (indicating whether checksum was calculated
and if there was an error encountered) for the supported protocol
received in the packet. Therefore, we do the following:
1. Filter the protocols for which checksum is not supported.
2. Check if there were any errors encountered in L3 or L4
protocols. These errors might not just be Checksum errors but
could be related to version, length of IPv4, UDP, TCP etc.
2a. If L3 Errors amd L4 Errors exists, then return as our RX
descriptor lacks Status-and-Error bits for checksum so
cannot identify specifically if error was because of
checksum error or other error for this packet.
2b. If above errors do not exists, then we set checksum
un-necessary for upper layers.
