From: Lars Ellenberg <Lars.Ellenberg@linbit.com> Add a memory barrier to the assembly checksum code - the code was copied straight from the i386 one, and the patch resyncs the code with the original. I'll check if the original code can be included directly (i.e. "#include") after 2.6.9. Without this patch, every 2.6 UML release corrupts the checksum of every UDP fragmented packet with size >= MTU (verified by various people, we all agree on this issue; nobody reported "Works fine here"). The corrupted packets are not accepted, thus blocking any kind of communication with large-sized UDP packets. In fact, I've even dissected the UML -> host traffic before and after this patch with Ethereal - and it always reported an incorrect checksum for fragmented UDP packets before and always correct after applying the patch.
