2016-03-13ipv6: Pass proto to csum_ipv6_magic as __u8 instead of unsigned shortAlexander Duyck
This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value. This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be present in how we handle the data. For example there are a number of places that call htonl on the protocol value. This is likely not necessary and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be converted to a shift by the compiler.

2016-02-12net: udp: always set up for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL offloadEdward Cree
If the dst device doesn't support it, it'll get fixed up later anyway by validate_xmit_skb(). Also, this allows us to take advantage of LCO to avoid summing the payload multiple times. Signed-off-by: Edward Cree <ecree@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-02-12net: local checksum offload for encapsulationEdward Cree
The arithmetic properties of the ones-complement checksum mean that a correctly checksummed inner packet, including its checksum, has a ones complement sum depending only on whatever value was used to initialise the checksum field before checksumming (in the case of TCP and UDP, this is the ones complement sum of the pseudo header, complemented). Consequently, if we are going to offload the inner checksum with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we can compute the outer checksum based only on the packed data not covered by the inner checksum, and the initial value of the inner checksum field.

2014-06-04udp: Generic functions to set checksumTom Herbert
Added udp_set_csum and udp6_set_csum functions to set UDP checksums in packets. These are for simple UDP packets such as those that might be created in UDP tunnels. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-05-05net: Implmement RFC 6936 (zero RX csums for UDP/IPv6)Tom Herbert
RFC 6936 relaxes the requirement of RFC 2460 that UDP/IPv6 packets which are received with a zero UDP checksum value must be dropped. RFC 6936 allows zero checksums to support tunnels over UDP. When sk_no_check is set we allow on a socket we allow a zero IPv6 UDP checksum. This is for both sending zero checksum and accepting a zero checksum on receive.

Call skb_checksum_init instead of private functions. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-26ipv6: log src and dst along with "udp checksum is 0"Bjørn Mork
These info messages are rather pointless without any means to identify the source of the bogus packets. Logging the src and dst addresses and ports may help a bit. Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-01-08ipv6: move csum_ipv6_magic() and udp6_csum_init() into static libraryCong Wang
As suggested by David, udp6_csum_init() is too big to be inlined, move it to ipv6 static library, net/ipv6/ip6_checksum.c. And the generic csum_ipv6_magic() too. Cc: David S.
