    ipv4: Update parameters for csum_tcpudp_magic to their original types · 01cfbad7
    Alexander Duyck authored
    This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
    csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
    inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
    is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
    on skb->len which is an unsigned integer.
    
    This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
    generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while
    csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
    run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
    protocol agnostic way to update it.
    
    With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
    "(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
    greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
    the inner headers at ~64K in size.
    
    I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
    score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
    were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
    or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
    value.
    
    I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
    the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
    were in sync going forward.
