Yukon FE and Yukon Ultra2. These controllers provide very simple checksum computation mechanism and it requires additional pseudo header checksum computation in upper stack. Even though I couldn't see much performance difference with/without Rx checksum offloading it may help notebook based controllers. Actually controller can compute two checksum value by giving different starting position of checksum computation on received frame. However, for long time, Marvell's checksum offloading engine have been known to have several silicon bugs so don't blindly trust computed partial checksum value. Instead, compute partial checksum twice by giving the same checksum computation position and compare the result. If the value is different it's clear indication of hardware bug. This configuration lose IP checksum offloading capability but I think it's better to take safe route. Note, Rx checksum offloading for Yukon XL was still disabled due to known silicon bug. |
