Subject: vlan: Fix tcp checksum offloads in Q-in-Q vlans
From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 35d2f80b07bbe03fb358afb0bdeff7437a7d67ff upstream.
It appears that TCP checksum offloading has been broken for
Q-in-Q vlans. The behavior was execerbated by the
series
commit afb0bc972b52 ("Merge branch 'stacked_vlan_tso'")
that that enabled accleleration features on stacked vlans.
However, event without that series, it is possible to trigger
this issue. It just requires a lot more specialized configuration.
The root cause is the interaction between how
netdev_intersect_features() works, the features actually set on
the vlan devices and HW having the ability to run checksum with
longer headers.
The issue starts when netdev_interesect_features() replaces
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM with a combination of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM | NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM,
if the HW advertises IP|IPV6 specific checksums. This happens
for tagged and multi-tagged packets. However, HW that enables
IP|IPV6 checksum offloading doesn't gurantee that packets with
arbitrarily long headers can be checksummed.
This patch disables IP|IPV6 checksums on the packet for multi-tagged
packets.
