commit 7eaf1f37b8817c608c4e959d69986ef459d345cd upstream.
For RX TLS device-offloaded packets, the HW spec guarantees checksum
validation for the offloaded packets, but does not define whether the
CQE.checksum field matches the original packet (ciphertext) or
the decrypted one (plaintext). This latitude allows architetctural
improvements between generations of chips, resulting in different decisions
regarding the value type of CQE.checksum.
Hence, for these packets, the device driver should not make use of this CQE
field. Here we block CHECKSUM_COMPLETE usage for RX TLS device-offloaded
packets, and use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead.
Value of the packet's tcp_hdr.csum is not modified by the HW, and it always
matches the original ciphertext.

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.
