Subject: [RFC net-next v2 10/18] net: ipxlat: add checksum and offload helpers
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 11:25:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261024092532.172005-11-ralf@mandelbit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261024092532.172005-1-ralf@mandelbit.com>
Add incremental pseudo-header checksum replacement, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
setup, complete IPv6 checksums, RFC 4884 payload relayout and
cross-family GSO metadata normalization.
Signed-off-by: Ralf Lici <ralf@mandelbit.com>
---
Changes since RFC v1 https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260319151230.655687-7-ralf@mandelbit.com/
- Rework the v1 checksum helpers around the attachment-independent
engine.
- Distinguish GSO aggregate length from eventual segment length,
including legacy UFO's header-inclusive gso_size convention.
- Introduce helpers only in the patch containing their first caller,
keeping each intermediate build free of unused-static-function
warnings. (Sashiko)
