From 759e5d006462d53fb708daa8284b4ad909415da1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:10:56 -0700 Subject: [UDP]: Clean up UDP-Lite receive checksum This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP. It does this by introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to __skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes. As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums. It also means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum verification. If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working automatically. This patch removes the assumption that msg_flags has MSG_TRUNC clear upon entry in recvmsg. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
