[PATCH] net: fix bridge multicast packet checksum validation

From: Linus LÃssing
Date: Sun Feb 14 2016 - 21:12:26 EST


We need to update the skb->csum after pulling the skb, otherwise
checksum validation will fail. This fixes multicast packet loss for
bridges and splats like the following:

Steinar, can you check whether this fixes the bridge issues you reported on
bugzilla #99081? Not quite sure whether it is the same as yours as you
do not seem to have any such call traces.


I am not super happy with how this patch looks, but there is no "skb_push_rcsum"
available and skb_pull_rcsum() seems non-reversible as is. Alternative suggestions
always welcome.
