Summary: mlx5 NIC reports checksum unknown when an invalid
checksum is present
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: testpmd
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: jspewock@iol.unh.edu
Target Milestone: ---
When running testpmd in verbose mode on a NIC that uses the mlx5_core PMD, =
if
you send a packet with an invalid IP checksum it will show the ol_flag
`RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_UNKNOWN` when it should be
`RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD`. According to lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf_core.h
`RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_UNKNOWN` should be shown when there is "no informat=
ion
about the RX IP checksum" and `RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD` should be shown =
when
"the IP checksum in the packet is wrong". This leads to an issue currently
where, from verbose output in testpmd, you cannot distinguish between a pac=
ket
having a bad checksum and one not being present at all. It should be noted =
that
this is also the case for L4 and OUTER_L4 checksums as well.
You can reproduce this by sending a scapy packet with the following structu=
re
to the testpmd shell that is forwarding with verbose mode set to 1:
`pakt =3D Ether() / IP(chksum=3D0x0)`
