From 45e15bb734e4e559ab32f26196e44d5cf1417f10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santiago Leon Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:09:19 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksums This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted when checksum offloading is enabled. The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol. The bug happens because the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory barrier before making the hypervisor call. Reordering the code so that the DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.
