Thanks for catching, sigh. :/

Your change would actually break applications. The bpf_csum_diff() helper is
heavily used with cascading so one result can be fed into another bpf_csum_diff()
call as seed. Quick test on x86-64:

static int __init foo(void)
{
        u8 data[32 * sizeof(u32)];
        u32 res1, res2, res3;
        int i;

        prandom_bytes(data, sizeof(data));
        res1 = csum_fold(csum_partial(data, sizeof(data), 0));
        for (i = sizeof(u32); i < sizeof(data); i += sizeof(u32)) {
                res2 = csum_fold(csum_partial(data, i, 0));
                res2 = csum_fold(csum_partial(data+i, sizeof(data)-i, res2));
                res3 = csum_partial(data, i, 0);
                res3 = csum_fold(csum_partial(data+i, sizeof(data)-i, res3));
                printk("%8d: [%4x (reference), %4x (unfolded), %4x (folded)]\n", i, res1, res3, res2);
        }
        return -1;
}

Gives for all three:

I'll take a look next week wrt fixing this uniformly for all archs.

Thanks,
