[PATCH net-next v2 4/4] ibmveth: Add support for Large Receive Offload

Thomas Falcon tlfalcon at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Apr 28 08:10:55 AEST 2015


Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets
have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have
a valid checksum.

v2: 
 -Included statistics that were previously in a separate patch
 -Zeroed the IP header checksum before calling ip_fast_csum
  Thanks to Eric Dumazet.
