This changes the interface slightly. Processes should be treating this previously unused bit as reserved and other flags have been added to the bitmap in this manner as well, so this should then be safe here, too. > For now, the flag may be set for incoming packets only. Why? You cannot change the semantics of the flag afterwards. Better to support both directions from the start. > Signed-off-by: Alexander Drozdov > --- > include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h | 1 + > net/packet/af_packet.c | 9 +++++++++ > 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h b/include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h > index da2d668..053bd10 100644 > --- a/include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h > +++ b/include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h > @@ -99,6 +99,7 @@ struct tpacket_auxdata { > #define TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID (1 << 4) /* auxdata has valid tp_vlan_tci */ > #define TP_STATUS_BLK_TMO (1 << 5) > #define TP_STATUS_VLAN_TPID_VALID (1 << 6) /* auxdata has valid tp_vlan_tpid */ > +#define TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID (1 << 7) > > /* Tx ring - header status */ > #define TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE 0 > diff --git a/net/packet/af_packet.c b/net/packet/af_packet.c > index 6ecf8dd..3f09dda 100644 > --- a/net/packet/af_packet.c > +++ b/net/packet/af_packet.c > @@ -1918,6 +1918,10 @@ static int tpacket_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev, > > if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) > status |= TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY; > + else if (skb->pkt_type != PACKET_OUTGOING && > + (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE || > + skb_csum_unnecessary(skb))) > + status |= TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID; > > if (snaplen > res) > snaplen = res; > @@ -3015,6 +3019,11 @@ static int packet_recvmsg(struct kiocb *iocb, struct socket *sock, > aux.tp_status = TP_STATUS_USER; > if (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) > aux.tp_status |= TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY; > + else if (skb->pkt_type != PACKET_OUTGOING && > + (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE || > + skb_csum_unnecessary(skb))) > + aux.tp_status |= TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID; > + These two sections are near duplicates. I'd move the entire status initialization, including existing TP_STATUS_USER and TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY fields to a helper function. It's a bit unfortunately that we have to use an extra bit to add a signal that is a near inverse of the existing TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY (bar CHECKSUM_NONE). I do not immediately see a better way, either, though. And tp_status has plenty room at 32 bits. > aux.tp_len = PACKET_SKB_CB(skb)->origlen; > aux.tp_snaplen = skb->len; > aux.tp_mac = 0; > -- > 1.9.1 >
