    Subject[PATCH 5.10 072/575] net: multicast: calculate csum of looped-back and forwarded packets
    Date
    From: Cyril Strejc <cyril.strejc@skoda.cz>

    [ Upstream commit 9122a70a6333705c0c35614ddc51c274ed1d3637 ]

    During a testing of an user-space application which transmits UDP
    multicast datagrams and utilizes multicast routing to send the UDP
    datagrams out of defined network interfaces, I've found a multicast
    router does not fill-in UDP checksum into locally produced, looped-back
    and forwarded UDP datagrams, if an original output NIC the datagrams
    are sent to has UDP TX checksum offload enabled.

    The datagrams are sent malformed out of the NIC the datagrams have been
    forwarded to.

    It is because:

    1. If TX checksum offload is enabled on the output NIC, UDP checksum
    is not calculated by kernel and is not filled into skb data.

    2. dev_loopback_xmit(), which is called solely by
    ip_mc_finish_output(), sets skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
    unconditionally.

    3. Since 35fc92a9 ("[NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except
    CHECKSUM_COMPLETE"), the ip_summed value is preserved during
    forwarding.

    4. If ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, checksum is not calculated during
    a packet egress.

    The minimum fix in dev_loopback_xmit():

    1. Preserves skb->ip_summed CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is the
    case when the original output NIC has TX checksum offload enabled.
    The effects are:

    a) If the forwarding destination interface supports TX checksum
    offloading, the NIC driver is responsible to fill-in the
    checksum.

    b) If the forwarding destination interface does NOT support TX
    checksum offloading, checksums are filled-in by kernel before
    skb is submitted to the NIC driver.

    c) For local delivery, checksum validation is skipped as in the
    case of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thanks to skb_csum_unnecessary().

    2. Translates ip_summed CHECKSUM_NONE to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. It
    means, for CHECKSUM_NONE, the behavior is unmodified and is there
    to skip a looped-back packet local delivery checksum validation.
