Xen devel - Mar 2006 - [BUG 143] [RFC] Patch submitted, not in tree yet.

I was cleaning out old sandboxes on my machine and realized that the fix 
for bug 143 was not in the tree yet.

Jon Mason posted a patch, with no negative feedback:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-02/msg00162.html

The bug originator tested the patch successfully on -rc4:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-02/msg00763.html

I''ve retested on -rc5: (changeset 9197). Aside from the file name
changes
from -rc2 to -rc5, 
it still applies/builds cleanly and still fixes the bug. 

Does the patch need changes, or has it managed to slip through the cracks 
twice now?

Jim

It''s a more invasive fix than the other checksumming patches
we''ve
applied, and things like the call to xen_checksum_setup() in 
xfrm4_output.c will never get accepted in upstream Linux. We need to 
come up with a cleaner solution that will be palatable for the Linux 
maintainers.
