Subject: [PATCH iwl-net v1 1/2] ice: always do GCS if hardware supports it
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:06:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428070647.777141-2-michal.swiatkowski@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428070647.777141-1-michal.swiatkowski@linux.intel.com>
There is no need to check for NETIF_HW_CSUM. If the code reach
calculating checksum it means that correct checksum flags are set,
because kernel is checking that when setting ip->summed.
Instead of netdev feature flag use Tx ring flag to check if the hardware
can use special descriptor for checksum calculating.
