[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net: calculate checksums for packets with IPv4 options

Tue Sep 1 11:47:55 CEST 2020


Currently, rte_ipv4_cksum() and rte_ipv4_udptcp_cksum() assume all IPv4
headers have sizeof(struct rte_ipv4_hdr) bytes. This is not true for
those (rare) packets with IPv4 options. Thus, both IPv4 and TCP/UDP
checksums are calculated wrong.

This patch fixes the issue by using the actual IPv4 header length from
the packet's IHL field.

v2:
* Use actual header length for sanity check as well.
* Introduce ip_hdr_len variable to increase readability.
