TOE has hardware support for calculating IP header and TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum for both IPv4 and IPv6. Add Tx checksum offload supported by TOE for IPv4 and TCP/UDP. For Tx, the result of checksum calculation is set to the checksum field of each IPv4 Header/TCP/UDP/ICMP of ethernet frames. For the unsupported frames, those fields are not changed. If a transmission frame is an UDPv4 frame and its checksum value in the UDP header field is 0x0000, TOE does not calculate checksum for UDP part of this frame as it is optional function as per standards. We can test this functionality by the below commands ethtool -K eth0 tx on --> to turn on Tx checksum offload ethtool -K eth0 tx off --> to turn off Tx checksum offload Signed-off-by: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com> Reviewed-by: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@omp.ru> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240207092838.160627-3-biju.das.jz@bp.renesas.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
