We've been getting checksum errors involving small UDP packets, usually 59B packets with 1 extra non-zero padding byte. netdev_rx_csum_fault() has been complaining that HW is providing bad checksums. Turns out the problem is in pskb_trim_rcsum_slow(), introduced in commit88078d98d1("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends"). The source of the problem is that when the bytes we are trimming start at an odd address, as in the case of the 1 padding byte above, skb_checksum() returns a byte-swapped value. We cannot just combine this with skb->csum using csum_sub(). We need to use csum_block_sub() here that takes into account the parity of the start address and handles the swapping. Matches existing code in __skb_postpull_rcsum() and esp_remove_trailer().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
