Do you mean that your drivers sets up CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on Rx? If HW
hasn't validated the checksum just leave the skb with CHECKSUM_NONE,
the stack will validate.

Hi Jakub,
In my network card HW it can verify the received frame's checksum of IPv4 header, but it can't verify the checksum of ICMP header.
So for ICMP kind of received frames driver sets the checksum state to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL in skb->ip_summed. Which is as per the linux kernel documentation also.
Now before the commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=8f9a69a92fc63917c9bd921b28e3b2912980becf this use case was working.
But now after introducing this logic for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL case, my received ICMP ping frames are getting dropped in the linux kernel pskb_trim_rcsum_slow().
I do understand that to bypass this scenario I can use CHECKSUM_NONE, but in that case HW's capability where checksum is already verified for the IPv4 header will be unutilized.
So please do share if any documentation update has happened for the CHECKSUM_PARTIAL scenario or please do let me know what need to be updated in the skb for the receive frame in this scenario where only Networking layer (i.e. IPv4 in this case) checksum is verified but the ICMP(ping) header checksum is not verified ?
Thanks
Arijit

What documentation are you reading? Setting ip_summed to PARTIAL on
receive is only valid for software/virtual devices, never real HW.
