Subject: BUG: TCPDUMP invalid cksum persists after disabling TCP cksum offload
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:14:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120918211423.GA19115@darkstar> (raw)

Hello,
I am seeing that tx checksum offload appears to be still running after disabling the feature with ethtool. I'm using kernel 3.6.0-rc6 and the latest ethtool from the git repo.
The default settings on my e1000e NIC:
# ethtool -k eth1 | grep ': on'
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
tx-checksum-ip-generic: on
scatter-gather: on
tx-scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
tx-tcp-segmentation: on
tx-tcp6-segmentation: on
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: on
rx-vlan-offload: on
tx-vlan-offload: on
receive-hashing: on
highdma: on [fixed]
rx-vlan-filter: on [fixed]
tx-nocache-copy: on
The results after disabling tcp cksum offload feature:
# ethtool -K eth1 tx off
Actual changes:
tx-checksumming: off
tx-checksum-ip-generic: off
scatter-gather: off
tx-scatter-gather: off [requested on]
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [requested on]
tx-tcp6-segmentation: off [requested on]
generic-segmentation-offload: off [requested on]
However, in tcpdump, I'm still observing incorrect tcp checksum:
14:44:38.838711 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 64, id 45798, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP
(6), length 60)
1.1.1.2.59748 > 1.1.1.1.23: Flags [S], cksum 0x0433 (incorrect -> 0x4137), seq 318222122, win 14600, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 5447116 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
Is this behaviour valid? I'm quite baffled.
Regards,
Jamie Gloudon
