[patch 55/67] IPV6: Disable SG for GSO unless we have checksum

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: David Miller <[email protected]>

Because the system won't turn off the SG flag for us we
need to do this manually on the IPv6 path.  Otherwise we
will throw IPv6 packets with bad checksums at the hardware.
