sys/netinet ip_output.c
Log:
RFC768 (UDP) requires that "if the computed checksum is zero, it
is transmitted as all ones". This got broken after introduction
of delayed checksums as follows. Some guys (including Jonathan)
think that it is allowed to transmit all ones in place of a zero
checksum for TCP the same way as for UDP. (The discussion still
takes place on -net.) Thus, the 0 -> 0xffff checksum fixup was
first moved from udp_output() (see udp_usrreq.c, 1.64 -> 1.65)
to in_cksum_skip() (see sys/i386/i386/in_cksum.c, 1.17 -> 1.18,
INVERT expression). Besides that I disagree that it is valid for
TCP, there was no real problem until in_cksum.c,v 1.20, where the
in_cksum() was made just a special version of in_cksum_skip().
The side effect was that now every incoming IP datagram failed to
pass the checksum test (in_cksum() returned 0xffff when it should
actually return zero). It was fixed next day in revision 1.21,
by removing the INVERT expression. The latter also broke the
0 -> 0xffff fixup for UDP checksums.
Before this change:
