[PATCH] [215/223] r8169: fix rx checksum offload

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Sun Dec 12 2010 - 18:48:50 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

commit adea1ac7effbddbe60a9de6d63462bfe79289e59 upstream.

While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.

All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.

The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.

Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.

Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...
