net: atlantic: checksum compat issue
Yet another checksum offload compatibility issue was found. The known issue is that AQC HW marks tcp packets with 0xFFFF checksum as invalid (1). This is workarounded in driver, passing all the suspicious packets up to the stack for further csum validation. Another HW problem (2) is that it hides invalid csum of LRO aggregated packets inside of the individual descriptors. That was workarounded by forced scan of all LRO descriptors for checksum errors. However the scan logic was joint for both LRO and multi-descriptor packets (jumbos). And this causes the issue. We have to drop LRO packets with the detected bad checksum because of (2), but we have to pass jumbo packets to stack because of (1). When using windows tcp partner with jumbo frames but with LSO disabled driver discards such frames as bad checksummed. But only LRO frames should be dropped, not jumbos. On such a configurations tcp stream have a chance of drops and stucks.
