similar to: [PATCH] virtio_net: Fix skb->csum_start computation (2.6.24, 2.6.25)

From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc at redhat.com> hdr->csum_start is the offset from the start of the ethernet header to the transport layer checksum field. skb->csum_start is the offset from skb->head. skb_partial_csum_set() assumes that skb->data points to the ethernet header - i.e. it computes skb->csum_start by adding the headroom to hdr->csum_start. Since

2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc at redhat.com> commit 23cde76d801246a702e7a84c3fe3d655b35c89a1 upstream. hdr->csum_start is the offset from the start of the ethernet header to the transport layer checksum field. skb->csum_start is the offset from skb->head. skb_partial_csum_set()

Implement skb_partial_csum_set, for setting partial csums on untrusted packets. Use it in virtio_net (replacing buggy version there), it's also going to be used by TAP for partial csum support.

Hi, This patches introduce virtio_net_hdr_{from,to}_skb functions for conversion of GSO information between skb and virtio_net_hdr. Mike Rapoport (6): virtio_net: add _UAPI prefix to virtio_net header guards virtio_net: introduce virtio_net_hdr_{from,to}_skb macvtap: use common code for virtio_net_hdr and skb GSO conversion tuntap: use common code for virtio_net_hdr and skb GSO

There's no need for the guest to validate the checksum if it have been validated by host nics. So this patch introduces a new flag - VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when met skbs with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to save cpu utilization. No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.

1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win. 2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to IPv6 or v4. 3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do checksumming). 4)

Feedback welcome, as always! (There's been talk of a virtualization git tree, in which case there'll be a decent home for these patches soon). Cheers, Rusty. == Add feature and GSO support to virtio net driver. If you don't do GSO, you can simply ignore the first sg element of every outgoing packet, and tack a dummy one on every incoming.
