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


Right. I confused DATA_VALID with NEEDS_CHECKSUM.

IIUC XDP generally refuses to attach if checksum offload
is enabled.

Any reason to do this? (Looks like I don't see any code for this)


Could you pls explain how to reproduce the issue you are seeing?


Using small buffer, all csumed packets will be dropped.

Thanks
