net/mlx5: zero out UDP csum for IPv6 encap headers
Checks
Commit Message
From: Eli Britstein <elibr@mellanox.com>
Mellanox NICs do not support UDP checksum hardware tx offload over IPv6.
This limitation becomes critical for UDP based tunnels like VXLAN.
Beside the UDP checksum validity is required by IPv6 there is an option
in Linux to allow accepting UDP zero sum (see udp6zerocsumrx in iproute2
package).
This patch zeroes out the UDP checksum field for encapsulation
headers in raw encap action.
