Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next v3 7/7] sk_buff.h: improve description of CHECKSUM_{COMPLETE,UNNECESSARY}
Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2017 16:16:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <da7a4ff2d2a191448031c0c7dc3da461399c1ac0.1491562390.git.dcaratti@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALx6S34cSH+z+humkp5s7UHAqnafHHB-GTqobHyb-SfKNe+MiA@mail.gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1491562390.git.dcaratti@redhat.com>
Add FCoE to the list of protocols that can set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY; add a
note to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE section to specify that it does not apply to SCTP
and FCoE protocols.
