37/* A. Checksumming of received packets by device.
38 *
39 * CHECKSUM_NONE:
40 *
41 * Device failed to checksum this packet e.g. due to lack of capabilities.
42 * The packet contains full (though not verified) checksum in packet but
43 * not in skb->csum. Thus, skb->csum is undefined in this case.
44 *
45 * CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY:
46 *
47 * The hardware you're dealing with doesn't calculate the full checksum
48 * (as in CHECKSUM_COMPLETE), but it does parse headers and verify checksums
49 * for specific protocols e.g. TCP/UDP/SCTP, then, for such packets it will
50 * set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY if their checksums are okay. skb->csum is still
51 * undefined in this case though. It is a bad option, but, unfortunately,
52 * nowadays most vendors do this. Apparently with the secret goal to sell
53 * you new devices, when you will add new protocol to your host, f.e. IPv6 8)
54 *
55 * CHECKSUM_COMPLETE:
56 *
57 * This is the most generic way. The device supplied checksum of the _whole_
58 * packet as seen by netif_rx() and fills out in skb->csum. Meaning, the
59 * hardware doesn't need to parse L3/L4 headers to implement this.
60 *
61 * Note: Even if device supports only some protocols, but is able to produce
62 * skb->csum, it MUST use CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, not CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
63 *
64 * CHECKSUM_PARTIAL:
65 *
66 * This is identical to the case for output below. This may occur on a packet
67 * received directly from another Linux OS, e.g., a virtualized Linux kernel
68 * on the same host. The packet can be treated in the same way as
69 * CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, except that on output (i.e., forwarding) the
70 * checksum must be filled in by the OS or the hardware.
71 *
72 * B. Checksumming on output.
73 *
74 * CHECKSUM_NONE:
75 *
76 * The skb was already checksummed by the protocol, or a checksum is not
77 * required.
78 *
79 * CHECKSUM_PARTIAL:
80 *
81 * The device is required to checksum the packet as seen by hard_start_xmit()
82 * from skb->csum_start up to the end, and to record/write the checksum at
83 * offset skb->csum_start + skb->csum_offset.
84 *
85 * The device must show its capabilities in dev->features, set up at device
86 * setup time, e.g. netdev_features.h:
87 *
88 * NETIF_F_HW_CSUM - It's a clever device, it's able to checksum everything.
89 * NETIF_F_IP_CSUM - Device is dumb, it's able to checksum only TCP/UDP over
90 * IPv4. Sigh. Vendors like this way for an unknown reason.
91 * Though, see comment above about CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. 8)
92 * NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM - About as dumb as the last one but does IPv6 instead.
93 * NETIF_F_... - Well, you get the picture.
94 *
95 * CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY:
96 *
97 * Normally, the device will do per protocol specific checksumming. Protocol
98 * implementations that do not want the NIC to perform the checksum
99 * calculation should use this flag in their outgoing skbs.
100 *
101 * NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC - This indicates that the device can do FCoE FC CRC
102 * offload. Correspondingly, the FCoE protocol driver
103 * stack should use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
104 *
105 * Any questions? No questions, good. --ANK

707static inline __u32 skb_get_rxhash(struct sk_buff *skb) 726 * Packet hash types specify the type of hash in skb_set_hash.
727 *
728 * Hash types refer to the protocol layer addresses which are used to
729 * construct a packet's hash. The hashes are used to differentiate or identify
730 * flows of the protocol layer for the hash type. Hash types are either
731 * layer-2 (L2), layer-3 (L3), or layer-4 (L4).
732 *
733 * Properties of hashes:
734 *
735 * 1) Two packets in different flows have different hash values
736 * 2) Two packets in the same flow should have the same hash value
737 *
738 * A hash at a higher layer is considered to be more specific. A driver should
739 * set the most specific hash possible.
740 *
741 * A driver cannot indicate a more specific hash than the layer at which a hash
742 * was computed. For instance an L3 hash cannot be set as an L4 hash.
743 *
744 * A driver may indicate a hash level which is less specific than the
745 * actual layer the hash was computed on. For instance, a hash computed
746 * at L4 may be considered an L3 hash. This should only be done if the
747 * driver can't unambiguously determine that the HW computed the hash at
748 * the higher layer. Note that the "should" in the second property above
749 * permits this.
