Subject[PATCH 3.10 61/86] Revert "macvlan : fix checksums error when we are in bridge mode"
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit f114890cdf84d753f6b41cd0cc44ba51d16313da ]

This reverts commit 12a2856b604476c27d85a5f9a57ae1661fc46019.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the
checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated.

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set. The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.
