[PATCH bpf-next v3 10/14] selftests/bpf: document pseudo-header checksum helpers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



network_helpers.h provides helpers to compute checksum for pseudo
headers but no helpers to compute the global checksums.

Before adding those, clarify csum_tcpudp_magic and csum_ipv6_magic
purpose by adding some documentation.

Changes in v3:
- instead of renaming the helpers, keep the original name (which is in
  sync with kernel helpers), and rather add documentation

Changes in v2:
- new patch
