I believe the issue is that this patch (32dce968dd98 - ipv6: Allow for partial
checksums on non-ufo packets) is that it now sets CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on all IPv6
packets including ICMPv6 ones. Our HW (82599) only supports checksum offload
on TCP/UDP (NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM) so we get hung up on the skb's protocol and the
fact that it is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
Another thing that confuses me is the feature test in this patch. It checks
(rt->dst.dev->features & NETIF_F_V6_CSUM) but NETIF_F_V6_CSUM is a two bit
field?
#define NETIF_F_V6_CSUM (NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM | NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM)
So the test would succeed if either bit was high, that doesn't seem right. I
cc'd the author so maybe he could clue us in.
