[PATCHv3] net: fix bridge multicast packet checksum validation

From: Linus LÃssing
Date: Tue Feb 23 2016 - 22:21:52 EST


We need to update the skb->csum after pulling the skb, otherwise
an unnecessary checksum (re)computation can ocure for IGMP/MLD packets
in the bridge code. Additionally this fixes the following splats for
network devices / bridge ports with support for and enabled RX checksum
offloading:

v3:
* Missed that an skb_postpush_rcsum() was just added for v4.5, using that
one instead

v2:
* substituted the storing of the csum with an skb_push_rcsum() approach
(did some more reading about CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, and it seems to me that the
skb_push direction is actually the easier/"safer" one, so there should be
no resetting to CHECKSUM_NONE necessary)
* Rewording of commit message, this bug should not cause any packet loss
due to "automatic" checksum recomputations in software if skb->csum
is bogus (in the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE case)
