We should allow csumed packet for small buffer, otherwise XDP_PASS
won't work correctly.

Fixes commit bb91accf2733 ("virtio-net: XDP support for small buffers")
Signed-off-by: Jason Wang<jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>
The issue would be VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID might be set.
What do you think?
I think it's safe. For XDP_PASS, it work like in the past.
That's the part I don't get. With DATA_VALID csum in packet is wrong, XDP
tools assume it's value.
DATA_VALID is CHECKSUM_UNCESSARY on the host, and according to the comment
in skbuff.h


"
   *   The hardware you're dealing with doesn't calculate the full checksum
   *   (as in CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), but it does parse headers and verify
checksums
   *   for specific protocols. For such packets it will set
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
   *   if their checksums are okay. skb->csum is still undefined in this case
   *   though. A driver or device must never modify the checksum field in the
   *   packet even if checksum is verified.
"

The csum is correct I believe?

Thanks
That's on input. But I think for tun it's output, where that is equivalent
to CHECKSUM_NONE


Yes, but the comment said:

"
CKSUM_NONE:
  *
  *   The skb was already checksummed by the protocol, or a checksum is not
  *   required.
  *
  * CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY:
  *
  *   This has the same meaning on as CHECKSUM_NONE for checksum offload on
  *   output.
  *
"

So still correct I think?

Thanks
Hmm maybe I mean NEEDS_CHECKSUM actually.

I'll need to re-read the spec.


Not sure this is an issue. But if it is, we can probably checksum the packet before passing it to XDP. But it would be a little slow.

Thanks
