Combined L3+L4 csum offload is only required for some L3 HW. So for L2 devices, don't offload the IP header csum calculation.
NACK, this has no relevance for stable.
Sure, I'll drop it.
Do you have an idea why the centos and ubuntu folks might have backported this commit into their kernels?
No clue, I trust they have their own reasons.
I cant see centos backporting anything unless they were asked to do so. And this really looks like a "bugfix" to me, why isn't this relevant for any older kernel versions?
thanks,
