+Subject: [PATCH] r8169: fix offloaded tx checksum for small packets.
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+8168evl offloaded checksums are wrong since commit
+e5195c1f31f399289347e043d6abf3ffa80f0005 ("r8169: fix 8168evl frame padding.")
+pads small packets to 60 bytes (without ethernet checksum). Typical symptoms
+appear as UDP checksums which are wrong by the count of added bytes.
+
+It isn't worth compensating. Let the driver checksum.
+
+Due to the skb length changes, TSO code is moved before the Tx descriptor gets
+written.
