I see, you are right.

In 'rte_ipv4_udptcp_cksum_mbuf()',
as payload length "mbuf->pkt_len - l4_off" is used, which includes
padding and if padding is not zero it will end up producing wrong checksum.


I agree using 'l3_len' instead is correct fix.

But this requires ABI/API change,
plus do we have any reason to keep the padding, discarding it as this
patch does is also simpler alternative.


Other alternative can be to zero the padding bytes. I guess standard
doesn't enforce them to be zero, but we can do this to remove its impact
on checksum calculation.


@Kaiwen, did you able to test this with HW offload, what is the behavior
of the HW, does is remove padding bytes?
