hi
now I am using sw to calculate the tcp checksum, is there CPU(nehalem) instruction or NIC /kernel API to do such thing?

In net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:

/* This routine computes an IPv4 TCP checksum. */
void tcp_v4_send_check(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        struct inet_sock *inet = inet_sk(sk);

        __tcp_v4_send_check(skb, inet->inet_saddr, inet->inet_daddr);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tcp_v4_send_check);
