[033/127] net: NETIF_F_HW_CSUM does not imply FCoE CRC offload

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 21:15:24 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 66c68bcc489fadd4f5e8839e966e3a366e50d1d5 upstream.

NETIF_F_HW_CSUM indicates the ability to update an TCP/IP-style 16-bit
checksum with the checksum of an arbitrary part of the packet data,
whereas the FCoE CRC is something entirely different.
