[PATCH net V3] net: Disable NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX when HW_CSUM is disabled

[PATCH net V3] net: Disable NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX when HW_CSUM is disabled

[Tariq Toukan]

With NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX packets are encrypted in HW. This cannot be
logically done when HW_CSUM offload is off.

Hi,

Please queue to -stable >= v4.18.
Thanks.

v3:
- Describe expected behavior for already opened connections.

v2:
- Documented the change in tls-offload.rst.

+Drivers should ignore the changes to the TLS device feature flags.
 These flags will be acted upon accordingly by the core ``ktls`` code.
 TLS device feature flags only control adding of new TLS connection
 offloads, old connections will remain active after flags are cleared.

+TLS encryption cannot be offloaded to devices without checksum calculation
+offload. Hence, TLS TX device feature flag requires NETIF_F_HW_CSUM being set.
+Disabling the latter implies clearing the former. Disabling TX checksum offload
+should not affect old connections, and drivers should make sure checksum
+calculation does not break for them.
