[ Upstream commit29dded89e8] When an ethernet frame is padded to meet the minimum ethernet frame size, the padding octets are not covered by the hardware checksum. Fortunately the padding octets are usually zero's, which don't affect checksum. However, it is not guaranteed. For example, switches might choose to make other use of these octets. This repeatedly causes kernel hardware checksum fault. Prior to the cited commit below, skb checksum was forced to be CHECKSUM_NONE when padding is detected. After it, we need to keep skb->csum updated. However, fixing up CHECKSUM_COMPLETE requires to verify and parse IP headers, it does not worth the effort as the packets are so small that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE has no significant advantage. Future work: when reporting checksum complete is not an option for IP non-TCP/UDP packets, we can actually fallback to report checksum unnecessary, by looking at cqe IPOK bit.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
