> 
> This patch defines new RSS offload types for IPv4 and

> distribute packets based on the IPv4 or L4 checksum field.
> 
> For example "flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions rss types
> ipv4-chksum end queues end / end", this flow causes all matching packets to be
> distributed to queues on basis of IPv4 checksum.

Do you mean
For UDP , the checksum is optional, if the checksum is not used, it will...?

Or maybe just reword to below
For the case that checksum is not used in a UDP header, it take the reserved value 0 as input for the hash function.
