Linux kernel source tree

The MAPv4 packet format adds support for RX / TX checksum offload. For a bi-directional UDP stream at a rate of 570 / 146 Mbps, roughly 10% CPU cycles are saved. For receive path, there is a checksum trailer appended to the end of the MAP packet. The valid field indicates if hardware has computed the checksum. csum_start_offset indicates the offset from the start of the IP header from which hardware has computed checksum. csum_length is the number of bytes over which the checksum was computed and the resulting value is csum_value. In the transmit path, a header is appended between the end of the MAP header and the start of the IP packet. csum_start_offset is the offset in bytes from which hardware will compute the checksum if the csum_enabled bit is set. udp_ip4_ind indicates if the checksum value of 0 is valid or not. csum_insert_offset is the offset from the csum_start_offset where hardware will insert the computed checksum. The use of this additional packet format for checksum offload is explained in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
