We should allow csumed packet for small buffer, otherwise XDP_PASS
won't work correctly.

Fixes commit bb91accf2733 ("virtio-net: XDP support for small buffers")
Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>
The issue would be VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID might be set.
What do you think?
I think it's safe. For XDP_PASS, it work like in the past.
That's the part I don't get. With DATA_VALID csum in packet is wrong, XDP
tools assume it's value.

DATA_VALID is CHECKSUM_UNCESSARY on the host, and according to the comment in skbuff.h


"
* The hardware you're dealing with doesn't calculate the full checksum

* though. A driver or device must never modify the checksum field in the
* packet even if checksum is verified.
"

The csum is correct I believe?

Thanks


For XDP_TX, we
zero the vnet header.
Again TX offload is disabled, so packets will go out with an invalid
checksum.

For adjusting header, XDP prog should deal with csum.

Thanks
That part seems right.
