Subject: aoe: assert AoE packets marked as requiring no checksum
From: Ed Cashin <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 8babe8cc6570ed896b7b596337eb8fe730c3ff45 ]
In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires
no checksumming in a generic way, the packets must be
marked as requiring no checksum, so we make this requirement
explicit with the assertion.
