virtio-net: avoid unnecessary checksum calculation on guest RX
Commit a2fb4bc ("net: implement virtio helpers to handle UDP GSO tunneling.") inadvertently altered checksum offload behavior for guests not using UDP GSO tunneling. Before, tun_put_user called tun_vnet_hdr_from_skb, which passed has_data_valid = true to virtio_net_hdr_from_skb. After, tun_put_user began calling tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_from_skb instead, which passes has_data_valid = false into both call sites. This caused virtio hdr flags to not include VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID for SKBs where skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. As a result, guests are forced to recalculate checksums unnecessarily. Restore the previous behavior by ensuring has_data_valid = true is passed in the !tnl_gso_type case, but only from tun side, as virtio_net_hdr_tnl_from_skb() is used also by the virtio_net driver, which in turn must not use VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID on tx. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: a2fb4bc ("net: implement virtio helpers to handle UDP GSO tunneling.")
