[RFC PATCH net-next] net: Modify CSUM capability check for USO
Posted by Radharapu Rakesh 9 months, 1 week ago
Some devices supporting USO have only ipv4 checksum enabled,
but USO gets disabled because both ipv4 and ipv6 functionality is checked.

IPv4 or IPv6 or both checksums, can be utilized with UDP segmentation
offload. Separate checks for both IPv4 and IPv6 checksums.

Fixes: 2b2bc3bab158 ("net: Make USO depend on CSUM offload")

The above will additionally affect TLS offload, and will likely break
i.e. USO over IPv6 traffic landing on devices supporting only USO over
IPv4, unless such devices additionally implement a suitable
ndo_features_check().

Such situation will be quite bug prone, I'm unsure we want this kind of
change - even without looking at the TLS side of it.
