From: Santiago Leon Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 18:28:52 +0000 (+0000) Subject: ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab78df75cac4d90b5b5471af795a64141243c02a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth. This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used. This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled. The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware. Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4 or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum disabled or enabled.
