Subject: Should driver set CHECKSUM_COMPLETE for TCP pakcets
Consider a device that doesn't provide the complete checksum for
entire Rx packets, but does verify the checksums for several protocols.
Now, assuming the HW is capable of verifying TCP checksums -
Should the driver calculate the pseudo TCP checksum for such packets
and pass those as COMPLETE? Or should it stick to UNNECESSRAY?
[Specifically I'm interested for this for the FW gro implementation -
it might be possible to mark an entire aggregation as COMPLETE]
Thanks,
Yuval
