<title>[MIPS] Fix wrong checksum for split TCP packets on 64-bit MIPS</title>

<id>1d464c26b5625215c4b35fb336c8f3c57d248c2e</id>
<content type='text'>
I've traced down an off-by-one TCP checksum calculation error under
the following conditions:

1) The TCP code needs to split a full-sized packet due to a reduced
   MSS (typically due to the addition of TCP options mid-stream like
   SACK).
   _AND_
2) The checksum of the 2nd fragment is larger than the checksum of the
   original packet.  After subtraction this results in a checksum for
   the 1st fragment with bits 16..31 set to 1. (this is ok)
   _AND_
3) The checksum of the 1st fragment's TCP header plus the previously
   32bit checksum of the 1st fragment DOES NOT cause a 32bit overflow
   when added together.  This results in a checksum of the TCP header
   plus TCP data that still has the upper 16 bits as 1's.
   _THEN_
4) The TCP+data checksum is added to the checksum of the pseudo IP
   header with csum_tcpudp_nofold() incorrectly (the bug).
    
The problem is the checksum of the TCP+data is passed to
csum_tcpudp_nofold() as an 32bit unsigned value, however the assembly
code acts on it as if it is a 64bit unsigned value.

This causes an incorrect 32-&gt;64bit extension if the sum has bit 31
set.  The resulting checksum is off by one.
    
This problems is data and TCP header dependent due to #2 and #3
above so it doesn't occur on every TCP packet split.

<title>[MIPS] Fix wrong checksum calculation on 64-bit MIPS</title>

<id>66218da212bf141532d678a699f5789c78145ab1</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit 8e3d8433d8c22ca6c42cba4a67d300c39aae7822 ([NET]: MIPS
checksum annotations and cleanups) broke 64-bit MIPS.

The problem is the commit replaces some unsigned long with __be32.  On
64bit MIPS, a __be32 (i.e. unsigned int) value is represented as a
sign-extented 32-bit value in a 64-bit argument register.  So the
address 192.168.0.1 (0xc0a80001) is passed as 0xffffffffc0a80001 to
csum_tcpudp_nofold() but the asm code in the function expects
0x00000000c0a80001, therefore it returns a wrong checksum.  Explicit
cast to unsigned long is needed to drop high 32bit.

to it in an asm() block, and we're running on a system with 64-bit
registers, it is vitally important that we sign extend it correctly before
returning to C.  Otherwise the stray high bits will be preserved into
csum_fold, and on the SB-1 processor, 32-bit arithmetic on a non
sign-extended register will yield surprising results.
    
This caused incorrect checksums in some UDP packets for NFS root.  The
problem was mild when using a 10.0.1.x IP address, but severe when
using 192.168.1.x.
