From 657197486950474bf30290344339fd0914fe99c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Schmidt Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 12:59:44 +0000 Subject: bnx2x: fix rx checksum validation for IPv6 [ Upstream commit e488921f44765e8ab6c48ca35e3f6b78df9819df ] Commit d6cb3e41 "bnx2x: fix checksum validation" caused a performance regression for IPv6. Rx checksum offload does not work. IPv6 packets are passed to the stack with CHECKSUM_NONE. The hardware obviously cannot perform IP checksum validation for IPv6, because there is no checksum in the IPv6 header. This should not prevent us from setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
