Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v1] i40e: don't advertise IFF_SUPP_NOFCS
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:50:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325205054.109822-1-kohei@enjuk.jp> (raw)
i40e advertises IFF_SUPP_NOFCS, allowing users to use the SO_NOFCS
socket option. However, this option is silently ignored, as the driver
does not check skb->no_fcs, and always enables FCS insertion offload.
Fix this by removing the advertisement of IFF_SUPP_NOFCS.
This behavior can be reproduced with a simple AF_PACKET socket:
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, 43, 1) # SO_NOFCS
s.bind(("eth0", 0))
s.send(b'\xff' * 64)
Previously, send() succeeds but the driver ignores SO_NOFCS.
With this change, send() fails with -EPROTONOSUPPORT, as expected.
Fixes: 41c445ff0f48 ("i40e: main driver core")
