The udp_ip4_ind bit is set only for IPv4 UDP non-fragmented packets so that the hardware can flip the checksum to 0xFFFF if the computed checksum is 0 per RFC768. However, this bit had to be set for IPv6 UDP non fragmented packets as well per hardware requirements. Otherwise, IPv6 UDP packets with computed checksum as 0 were transmitted by hardware and were dropped in the network. In addition to setting this bit for IPv6 UDP, the field is also appropriately renamed to udp_ind as part of this change.

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.
