Subject: [PATCHv2 net-2.6] sfc: Really allow RX checksum offload to be disabled

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:34:54 +0000

We have never checked the efx_nic::rx_checksum_enabled flag everywhere
we should, and since the switch to GRO we don't check it anywhere.
It's simplest to check it in the one place where we initialise the
per-packet checksummed flag.

This version really is applicable to net-2.6 and 2.6.31.y, and to
2.6.27.y with fuzz 1.  I'm not sure whether this bug is serious enough
for a stable update but it is an obvious fix.

Ben.
