    i40e/i40evf: Factor out L4 header and checksum from L3 bits in TSO path · c49a7bc3
    Alexander Duyck authored
    This patch makes it so that the L4 header offsets and such can be ignored
    when dealing with the L3 checksum and length update.  This is done making
    use of two things.
    
    First we can just use the offset from the L4 header to the start of the
    packet to determine the L4 offset, and from that we can then make use of
    the data offset to determine the full length of the headers.
    
    As far as adjusting the checksum to remove the length we can simply add the
    inverse of the length instead of having to recompute the entire
    pseudo-header without the length.  In the case of an IPv6 header this
    should be significantly cheaper since we can make use of a value we already
    needed instead of having to read the source and destination address out of
    the packet.
