When using the MAPv4 packet format, receive checksum offload can be enabled in hardware. The checksum computation over pseudo header is not offloaded but the rest of the checksum computation over the payload is offloaded. This applies only for TCP / UDP packets which are not fragmented. rmnet validates the TCP/UDP checksum for the packet using the checksum from the checksum trailer added to the packet by hardware. The validation performed is as following - 1. Perform 1's complement over the checksum value from the trailer 2. Compute 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 header and subtracts it from the value from step 1 3. Computes 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 pseudo header and adds it to the value from step 2 4. Subtracts the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header from the value from step 3. 5. Compares the value from step 4 to the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header. 6. If the comparison in step 5 succeeds, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is set and the packet is passed on to network stack. If there is a failure, then the packet is passed on as such without modifying the ip_summed field. The checksum field is also checked for UDP checksum 0 as per RFC 768 and for unexpected TCP checksum of 0. If checksum offload is disabled when using MAPv4 packet format in receive path, the packet is queued as is to network stack without the validations above.
