E830 supports raw receive and generic transmit checksum offloads. Raw receive checksum support is provided by hardware calculating the checksum over the whole packet, regardless of type. The calculated checksum is provided to driver in the Rx flex descriptor. Then the driver assigns the checksum to skb->csum and sets skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. Generic transmit checksum support is provided by hardware calculating the checksum given two offsets: the start offset to begin checksum calculation, and the offset to insert the calculated checksum in the packet. Support is advertised to the stack using NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. E830 has the following limitations when both generic transmit checksum offload and TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) are enabled: 1. Inner packet header modification is not supported. This restriction includes the inability to alter TCP flags, such as the push flag. As a result, this limitation can impact the receiver's ability to coalesce packets, potentially degrading network throughput. 2. The Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is limited to 1023 bytes, which prevents support of Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) greater than 1063 bytes. Therefore NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_ALL_TSO features are mutually exclusive. NETIF_F_HW_CSUM hardware feature support is indicated but is not enabled by default. Instead, IP checksums and NETIF_F_ALL_TSO are the defaults. Enforcement of mutual exclusivity of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_ALL_TSO is done in ice_set_features(). Mutual exclusivity of IP checksums and NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is handled by netdev_fix_features(). When NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is requested the provided skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset are passed to hardware in the Tx context descriptor generic checksum (GCS) parameters. Hardware calculates the 1's complement from skb->csum_start to the end of the packet, and inserts the result in the packet at skb->csum_offset.

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 reStructuredText 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.
