The iflib stack does not disable TSO automatically when TXCSUM is
disabled, instead assuming that the driver will correctly handle TSOs
even when CSUM_IP is not set.
This results in iflib calling ixl_isc_txd_encap with packets which have
CSUM_IP_TSO, but do not have CSUM_IP or CSUM_IP_TCP set. Because of
this, ixl_tx_setup_offload will not setup the IPv4 checksum offloading.
This results in bad TSO packets being sent if a user disables TXCSUM
without disabling TSO.
Fix this by updating the ixl_tx_setup_offload function to check both
CSUM_IP and CSUM_IP_TSO when deciding whether to enable IPv4 checksums.
Once this is corrected, another issue for TSO packets is revealed. The
driver sets IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM in order to enable a work around that
causes the ip->sum field to be zero'd. This is necessary for ixl
hardware to correctly perform TSOs.
However, if TXCSUM is disabled, then the work around is not enabled, as
CSUM_IP will not be set when the iflib stack checks to see if it should
clear the sum field.
Fix this by adding IFLIB_TSO_INIT_IP to the iflib flags for the iavf and
ixl interface files.
It is uncertain if the hardware needs IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for any other
case besides TSO, so leave that flag assigned. It may be worth
investigating to see if this work around flag could be disabled in
a future change.
Once both of these changes are made, the ixl driver should correctly
offload TSO packets when TSO4 offload is enabled, regardless of whether
TXCSUM is enabled or disabled.
