Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 0/3] unify netfront and netback checksum setup code
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 15:39:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386689992-45593-1-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com> (raw)
I'm posting this as RFC to xen-devel before going to netdev to get feedback.
In patch 1 I've basically taken the latest checksum setup code from netback,
with all the recent fixes, and pushed it into net/core/dev.c (which seems
like the right home for such code). Patch 2 and 3 then just modify netback
and netfront to use the new code.
Does this look like a reasonable approach? I think it would be good to make
the checksum setup code available to all network drivers. There's nothing
Xen specific about it.
