TOE has hardware support for calculating IP header and TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum for both IPv4 and IPv6. Add Rx checksum offload supported by TOE for IPv4 and TCP/UDP protocols. For Rx, the 4-byte result of checksum calculation is attached to the Ethernet frames.First 2-bytes is result of IPv4 header checksum and next 2-bytes is TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum. If a frame does not have checksum error, 0x0000 is attached as checksum calculation result. For unsupported frames 0xFFFF is attached as checksum calculation result. In case of an IPv6 packet, IPv4 checksum is always set to 0xFFFF. We can test this functionality by the below commands ethtool -K eth0 rx on --> to turn on Rx checksum offload ethtool -K eth0 rx off --> to turn off Rx 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/20240207092838.160627-2-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.
