Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/2] virtio-net: avoid conflicts between XDP and GUEST_CSUM

virtio-net needs to clear the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM feature when
loading XDP. The main reason for doing this is that received packets
marked with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM are not compatible with
XDP programs, that is, we cannot guarantee that the csum_{start, offset}
fields are correct after XDP processing.

There is also an existing problem, in the same host vm-vm (eg
[vm]<->[ovs vhost-user]<->[vm]) scenario, loading XDP will cause packet loss.

To solve the above problems, we have discussed in the [1] proposal, and
now try to solve it through the method of reprobing fields suggested
by Jason.

v3->v4:
  - Rewrite some comments for patch [1/2].

v2->v3:
  - Use skb_checksum_setup() instead of virtnet_flow_dissect_udp_tcp(). @Jason Wang

  - Squash v1's patch [1/4] and patch [2/4] into v2's patch [1/3]. @Michael S. Tsirkin
  - Some minor modifications.

Heng Qi (2):
  virtio-net: support coexistence of XDP and GUEST_CSUM
  virtio-net: remove GUEST_CSUM check for XDP
