[PATCH net v3 0/2] xsk: fix multi-buffer TX software checksum
From: Rongzheng Wang

This is v3 of the AF_XDP multi-buffer TX software checksum fix.
I found this while testing multi-buffer TX with XDP_UMEM_TX_SW_CSUM: a
two-descriptor packet had a bad wire checksum, while a single descriptor was
correct. There was no production or syzbot report.
Patch 1 moves the software checksum calculation from xsk_skb_metadata() to
the point where the last descriptor has been added to the skb. The old
code calculated the checksum after the first descriptor, so multi-buffer
packets only included the first fragment in the checksum.
Patch 2 extends test_xdp_metadata to cover the single-descriptor and
multi-buffer TX cases.
The updated selftest passes on the v3 kernel in a local QEMU run.
v3:
- preserve unlikely() around pool->tx_sw_csum (Maciej)
- restore the binary MAC literals in the selftest (Sashiko)
- keep a distinct malformed-packet counter out of this stable fix; if it is
useful, it can be added separately for net-next later (Magnus)
