> The following patch will add ingress resolution of uncommon virtio net > hdr checksum metadata (software checksum completion at ingress) which > adds performance overhead to the packet processing. > > We should make it visible, so a hypothetical workload relying on > uncommon metadata can be distinguished from none at all. This way issues > in the parsing will be reported and not quietly pay the host-CPU > checksum overhead instead of offload. > > Flip every call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb to test for negative errno > only, and have tun count these events per device as rx_csum_sw, exposed > via ethtool -S. > > Assisted-by: LLM > Signed-off-by: Michael S.
