Revision e488921f44765e8ab6c48ca35e3f6b78df9819df authored by Michal Schmidt on 13 September 2012, 12:59:44 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 18 September 2012, 20:13:46 UTC
Commit d6cb3e41 "bnx2x: fix checksum validation" caused a performance
regression for IPv6. Rx checksum offload does not work. IPv6 packets
are passed to the stack with CHECKSUM_NONE.

The hardware obviously cannot perform IP checksum validation for IPv6,
because there is no checksum in the IPv6 header. This should not prevent
us from setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

Tested on BCM57711.
