[PATCH v3] net: dccp: Checksum verification enhancement

From: Markus.Amend
Date: Tue Apr 30 2019 - 12:11:21 EST


The current patch modifies the checksum verification of a received DCCP
packet, by adding the function __skb_checksum_validate into the
dccp_vX_rcv routine. The purpose of the modification is to allow the
verification of the skb->ip_summed flags during the checksum validation
process (for checksum offload purposes). As __skb_checksum_validate
covers the functionalities of skb_checksum and dccp_vX_csum_finish they
are needless and therefore removed.
