[PATCH v5 net-next 0/8] Local Checksum Offload

[PATCH v5 net-next 0/8] Local Checksum Offload

[Edward Cree]

Re-tested VxLAN; everything else is unchanged from v4.

Changes from v4:
 * Rebased series to fix conflicts with vxlan/vxlan6 merge.

Changes from v3:
 * Fixed inverted checksum values introduced in v3.
 * Don't mangle zero checksums in GRE.
 * Clear skb->encapsulation in iptunnel_handle_offloads when not using
   CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, lest drivers incorrectly interpret that as a request
   for inner checksum offload.

Changes from v2:
 * Added support for IPv4 GRE.
 * Split out 'always set up for checksum offload' into its own patch.
 * Removed csum_help from iptunnel_handle_offloads.
 * Rewrote LCO callers to only fold once.
 * Simplified nocheck handling.

Changes from v1:
 * Enabled support in more encapsulation protocols.
   I think it now covers everything except GRE.
 * Wrote up some documentation covering TX checksum offload, LCO and RCO.

Edward Cree (8):
  net: local checksum offload for encapsulation
  net: udp: always set up for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL offload
  net: enable LCO for udp_tunnel_handle_offloads() users
  net: vxlan: enable local checksum offload
  fou: enable LCO in FOU and GUE
  net: gre: Implement LCO for GRE over IPv4
  net: ip_tunnel: remove 'csum_help' argument to iptunnel_handle_offloads
  Documentation/networking: add checksum-offloads.txt to explain LCO
