[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] app/testpmd: fix TX checksum calculation for tunnel

Gregory Etelson getelson at nvidia.com
Thu Jul 29 19:01:41 CEST 2021


csumonly engine calculates TX checksum of a tunnelled packet for outer
headers only or separately for outer and inner headers. The
calculation method is determined by checksum configuration options.
If TX checksum calculation is separated, the inner headers are
processed before outer headers.

Inner headers processing sets checksum values to 0 unconditionally.
If TX configuration offloads inner checksums only, outer checksum
calculation in software will read 0 instead of real values and
produce wrong result.

The patch zeroes inner checksums only before software calculation.
