Also, skb->csum is not valid for every ip_summed value. May be we need to apply CHECKSUM_PARTIAL kind of setup for the IPv6. Such example is net/ipv6/udp.c:udp6_ufo_send_check(). Later dev_queue_xmit() and skb_checksum_help() should take care for the next steps. Something like this can be tested: icmph->icmp6_cksum = csum_ipv6_magic(&iph->saddr, &iph->daddr, skb->len - icmp_offset, IPPROTO_ICMPV6, 0); skb->csum_start = skb_network_header(skb) - skb->head + icmp_offset; skb->csum_offset = offsetof(struct icmp6hdr, icmp6_cksum); skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_PARTIAL; > ip_vs_checksum_complete(skb, icmp_offset); > + icmph->icmp6_cksum = csum_ipv6_magic(&iph->saddr, > + &iph->daddr, > + skb->len - icmp_offset, IPPROTO_ICMPV6, > + skb->csum); > + > skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY; > > if (inout) Regards -- Julian Anastasov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
