Currently PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM is being set into mbuf->ol_flags during fragmentation operation implicitly by the library. Because of this, application is forced to use checksum offload whether it is supported by platform or not.
Also documentation does not provide any expected value of ol_flags in returned fragmented mbufs so application will never come to know that which offloads are enabled. So transmission may be failed for the platforms which does not support checksum offload. So removing mentioned flag from the library. Mentioned changeset is part of http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/53475/ Changes for reassembly operation is already accepcted. This patch set implements the similar change for fragmentation operation. Signed-off-by: Sunil Kumar Kori <sk...@marvell.com> --- Current patch is part of following patchset http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/53475/ which is missed to be merged into upstream because of accepted version of this patch does not contain this change. Accepted patchset is given below: http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/56202/ Patchset is already reviewed and acked on maillist.
