Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 31/53] net/mlx4_en: Fix endianness bug in IPV6 csum calculation
Date
4.2.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@mellanox.com>

commit 82d69203df634b4dfa765c94f60ce9482bcc44d6 upstream.

Use htons instead of unconditionally byte swapping nexthdr. On a little
endian systems shifting the byte is correct behavior, but it results in
incorrect csums on big endian architectures.

Fixes: f8c6455bb04b ('net/mlx4_en: Extend checksum offloading by CHECKSUM COMPLETE')
