net: Support for multiple checksums with gso
When creating a GSO packet segment we may need to set more than one checksum in the packet (for instance a TCP checksum and UDP checksum for VXLAN encapsulation). To be efficient, we want to do checksum calculation for any part of the packet at most once. This patch adds csum_start offset to skb_gso_cb. This tracks the starting offset for skb->csum which is initially set in skb_segment. When a protocol needs to compute a transport checksum it calls gso_make_checksum which computes the checksum value from the start of transport header to csum_start and then adds in skb->csum to get the full checksum. skb->csum and csum_start are then updated to reflect the checksum of the resultant packet starting from the transport header. This patch also adds a flag to skbuff, encap_hdr_csum, which is set in *gso_segment fucntions to indicate that a tunnel protocol needs checksum calculation Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
