[PATCH 1/3] Cleanup and simplify virtnet header

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

 



1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming
   separate).  Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something
   you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win.

2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to
   IPv6 or v4.

3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do
   checksumming).

4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.
