This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled openvswitch: use flow protocol when recalculating ipv6 checksums to the 4.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: openvswitch-use-flow-protocol-when-recalculating-ipv6-checksums.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon May 16 11:20:33 PDT 2016 From: Simon Horman <simon.horman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:49:15 +1000 Subject: openvswitch: use flow protocol when recalculating ipv6 checksums From: Simon Horman <simon.horman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b4f70527f052b0c00be4d7cac562baa75b212df5 ] When using masked actions the ipv6_proto field of an action to set IPv6 fields may be zero rather than the prevailing protocol which will result in skipping checksum recalculation. This patch resolves the problem by relying on the protocol in the flow key rather than that in the set field action. Fixes: 83d2b9ba1abc ("net: openvswitch: Support masked set actions.")
