[net-next,0/7] drivers: Fix drivers doing TX csum offload with EH

Message

Several NICs would seem to support protocol specific TX checksum offload
and allow for cases where an IPv6 packet contains extension headers.
When deciding whether to offload a packet, ipv6_skip_exthdr is called
to skip extension headers. The problem is that if a packet contains an
IPv6 Routing Header then protocol specific checksum offload can't work,
the destination IP address in the IPv6 header is not the same one that
is used in the pseudo header for TCP or UDP. The correct address is 
derived from the last segment in the routing list (which itself might
be obfuscated so that a device could even read it).

This patch set adds a new function ipv6_skip_exthdr_no_rthdr to be
called in lieu of ipv6_skip_exthdr. If a routing header is present in
a packet then ipv6_skip_exthdr_no_rthdr returns a value less than
zero, this is an indication to the driver that TX checksum offload
is not viable and it should call skb_checksum_help instead of
offloading the checksum.

The i40e, iavf, ice, idpf, hinic, and fm10k are updated accordingly
to call ipv6_skip_exthdr_no_rthdr.

Testing: The code compiles, but is otherwise untested due to lack of
NIC hardware. It would be appreciated if someone with access to the
hardware could test.

Tom Herbert (7):
  ipv6: Add ipv6_skip_exthdr_no_rthdr
  i40e: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
  iavf: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
  ice: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
  idpf: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
  hinic: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
  fm10k: Don't do TX csum offload with routing header present
