Subject: [PATCH net-next] virtio-net: avoid unnecessary checksum calculation on guest RX
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:51:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251125175117.995179-1-jon@nutanix.com> (raw)

Commit a2fb4bc4e2a6 ("net: implement virtio helpers to handle UDP
GSO tunneling.") inadvertently altered checksum offload behavior
for guests not using UDP GSO tunneling.

Before, tun_put_user called tun_vnet_hdr_from_skb, which passed
has_data_valid = true to virtio_net_hdr_from_skb.

After, tun_put_user began calling tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_from_skb instead,
which passes has_data_valid = false into both call sites.

This caused virtio hdr flags to not include VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID
for SKBs where skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. As a result,
guests are forced to recalculate checksums unnecessarily.

Restore the previous behavior by ensuring has_data_valid = true is
passed in the !tnl_gso_type case.
