checksum offloading and VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping from the currently enabled hardware offloading capabilities. Previously if_hwassist, which was initialized to TX/RX checksum offloading, was blindly used to enable both TX and RX checksum offloading such that disabling either TX or RX checksum offloading was not possible. ti(4) controllers support TX/RX checksum offloading with VLAN tagging so announce TX/RX checksum offloading capability over VLAN to vlan(4). Make VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping honors currently enabled interface capability instead of blindly enabling VLAN hardware tagging. This change allows disabling hardware support of VLAN tag. Because ti(4) supports VLAN oversized frames, make network stack know the capability by setting if_hdrlen. While I'm here, rewrite SIOCSIFCAP handler and make sure to reinitialize controller whenever TX/RX checksum offloading and VLAN hardware tagging option is changed. The requirement of controller reinitialization comes from the limitation of Tigon I/II firmware. Tigon I/II firmware requires all related RCBs should be reinitialized whenever any of its hardware offloading capabilities change. vlan(4) is also notified whenever the parent interface's capability changes such that it can correctly handle TX/RX checksum offloading based on parent interface's enabled offloading capabilities. RX checksum offloading handler was changed to make upper stack use controller computed partial checksum value. Previously, ti(4) just set the computed value for any frames(IPv4, IPv6) and the value was not used in upper stack because driver didn't set CSUM_DATA_VALID such that upper network stack had to recompute checksum of TCP/UDP packets. I have no idea how this was not noticed for a long time. With this change, upper network stack does not have to fully recompute the checksum such that calculating pseudo checksum based on partial checksum is sufficient to know whether received packet's checksum is correct or not. However, I don't know why ti(4) does not have controller compute pseudo checksum as controller has ability to do it. I'm just guessing enabling that feature could trigger a firmware bug or could be slower than computing it on host side so just leave it as it was. In order not to produce false positives, ti(4) now checks whether controller actually computed IP or TCP/UDP checksum by checking ti_flags field. |
