2008-06-28net/inet_lro: remove setting skb->ip_summed when not LRO-ableEli Cohen1-1/+5
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However, lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code in the path leading to a failure to chain it. Also use a cleaer comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

2007-12-05[LRO]: fix lro_gen_skb() alignmentAndrew Gallatin1-0/+3
Add a field to the lro_mgr struct so that drivers can specify how much padding is required to align layer 3 headers when a packet is copied into a freshly allocated skb by inet_lro.c:lro_gen_skb(). Without padding, skbs generated by LRO will cause alignment warnings on architectures which require strict alignment (seen on sparc64). Myri10GE is updated to use this field.

2007-10-14fix endianness bug in inet_lroAl Viro1-1/+1
all uses of and almost all assignments to lro_desc->tcp_ack assume that it's net-endian; one converts net-endian to host-endian and sticks it in lro_desc->tcp_ack. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-10-11[NET]: Generic Large Receive Offload for TCP trafficJan-Bernd Themann1-0/+177
This patch provides generic Large Receive Offload (LRO) functionality for IPv4/TCP traffic. LRO combines received tcp packets to a single larger tcp packet and passes them then to the network stack in order to increase performance (throughput). The interface supports two modes: Drivers can either pass SKBs or fragment lists to the LRO engine. Signed-off-by: Jan-Bernd Themann <themann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
