Willem de Bruijn 95ccf006bb net: reenable NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM offload for BIG TCP packets 
[ Upstream commit 68e068cabd ]

The blamed commit disabled hardware offoad of IPv6 packets with
extension headers on devices that advertise NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM,
based on the definition of that feature in skbuff.h:

 *   * - %NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM
 *     - Driver (device) is only able to checksum plain
 *       TCP or UDP packets over IPv6. These are specifically
 *       unencapsulated packets of the form IPv6|TCP or
 *       IPv6|UDP where the Next Header field in the IPv6
 *       header is either TCP or UDP. IPv6 extension headers
 *       are not supported with this feature. This feature
 *       cannot be set in features for a device with
 *       NETIF_F_HW_CSUM also set. This feature is being
 *       DEPRECATED (see below).

The change causes skb_warn_bad_offload to fire for BIG TCP
packets.

BIG TCP introduced an IPV6_TLV_JUMBO IPv6 extension header to
communicate packet length, as this is an IPv6 jumbogram. But, the
feature is only enabled on devices that support BIG TCP TSO. The
header is only present for PF_PACKET taps like tcpdump, and not
transmitted by physical devices.

For this specific case of extension headers that are not
transmitted, return to the situation before the blamed commit
and support hardware offload.

ipv6_has_hopopt_jumbo() tests not only whether this header is present,
but also that it is the only extension header before a terminal (L4)
header.

Fixes: 04c20a9356 ("net: skip offload for NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM if ipv6 header contains extension")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
