Linux kernel source tree
Current Work Queue Entry (WQE) checksum (csum) flags in the ethernet
segment (eseg) in case of IPsec crypto offload datapath are not aligned
with PRM/HW expectations.
Currently the driver always sets the l3_inner_csum flag in case of IPsec
because of the wrong usage of skb->encapsulation as indicator for inner
IPsec header since skb->encapsulation is always ON for IPsec packets
since IPsec itself is an encapsulation protocol. The above forced a
failing attempts of calculating csum of non-existing segments (like in
the IP|ESP|TCP packet case which does not have an l3_inner) which led
to lots of packet drops hence the low throughput.
Fix by using xo->inner_ipproto as indicator for inner IPsec header
instead of skb->encapsulation in addition to setting the csum flags
as following:
* Tunnel Mode:
* Pkt: MAC IP ESP IP L4
* CSUM: l3_cs | l3_inner_cs | l4_inner_cs
*
* Transport Mode:
* Pkt: MAC IP ESP L4
* CSUM: l3_cs [ | l4_cs (checksum partial case)]
*
* Tunnel(VXLAN TCP/UDP) over Transport Mode
* Pkt: MAC IP ESP UDP VXLAN IP L4
* CSUM: l3_cs | l3_inner_cs | l4_inner_cs

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
