net: ipa: add support for inline checksum offload
Starting with IPA v4.5, IP payload checksum offload is implemented differently. Prior to v4.5, the IPA hardware appends an rmnet_map_dl_csum_trailer structure to each packet if checksum offload is enabled in the download direction (modem->AP). In the upload direction (AP->modem) a rmnet_map_ul_csum_header structure is prepended before each sent packet. Starting with IPA v4.5, checksum offload is implemented using a single new rmnet_map_v5_csum_header structure which sits between the QMAP header and the packet data. The same header structure is used in both directions. The new header contains a header type (CSUM_OFFLOAD); a checksum flag; and a flag indicating whether any other headers follow this one. The checksum flag indicates whether the hardware should compute (and insert) the checksum on a sent packet. On a received packet the checksum flag indicates whether the hardware confirms the checksum value in the payload is correct. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
