This function is used by a lot of drivers.
Try git grep rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare
I think we need more reviews on the v3.
Given it is far from being a new bug, I suggest to wait the next release
in order to have more feedbacks.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the review.
I did the git grep rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare and git grep
PKT_TX_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM. Following are the two drivers that use the function
to prepare headers for checksum which also uses the outer_udp_checksum
offload within drivers.
1) Hisilicon hns3
2) Wangxun txgbe
1) has implemented its own version of functions to prepare for outer header
checksum. It may benefit/impact from the change.
The function "rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare" is intel specific and intel
cards do not support outer l4 checksum offload. DPDK may provide a generic
version of the same function which can be used in different drivers.

Are we good with this patch with the current state? @Olivier: Any comments
on the above suggestions?

Preparation of the headers for the hardware offload misses the outer IPv4 checksum offload. It results in bad checksum computed by hardware NIC. This patch fixes the issue by setting the outer IPv4 checksum field to 0.

I can see sfc & ena are also using this function, should we rename it?

Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.
Patch title updated as following while merging:
net: fix checksum offload for outer IPv4
