    net: fix pskb_trim_rcsum_slow() with odd trim offset · d55bef50
    Dimitris Michailidis authored
    We've been getting checksum errors involving small UDP packets, usually
    59B packets with 1 extra non-zero padding byte. netdev_rx_csum_fault()
    has been complaining that HW is providing bad checksums. Turns out the
    problem is in pskb_trim_rcsum_slow(), introduced in commit 88078d98
    ("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends").
    
    The source of the problem is that when the bytes we are trimming start
    at an odd address, as in the case of the 1 padding byte above,
    skb_checksum() returns a byte-swapped value. We cannot just combine this
    with skb->csum using csum_sub(). We need to use csum_block_sub() here
    that takes into account the parity of the start address and handles the
    swapping.
    
    Matches existing code in __skb_postpull_rcsum() and esp_remove_trailer().
    
    Fixes: 88078d98 ("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends")
