[PATCH net v4 0/2] xsk: fix multi-buffer TX software checksum

[Rongzheng Wang]

This is v4 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 sends the packet using every descriptor count from 1 through
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1, and runs the existing metadata and checksum verification
for each case.  The last case is the copy-mode frame limit documented in
af_xdp.rst.

Patch 1 is unchanged since v3.  The updated selftest passes in a local QEMU
run.

v4:
- exercise every descriptor count up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 (Maciej)
- keep the last descriptor within the packet length (Maciej)
- fix the local variable declaration order (Maciej)
