+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: fix packet checksum in receive path
+
+eth_type_trans() internally calls skb_pull(), which does not adjust the
+skb checksum; skb_postpull_rcsum() is necessary to avoid log spam of the
+form "bat0: hw csum failure" when packets with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are
+received.
+
+Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with
+CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see
+batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do nor occur on every
+system using batman-adv. I could reproduce this issue by stacking
+batman-adv on top of a VXLAN interface.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: invalidate checksum on fragment reassembly
+
+A more sophisticated implementation could try to combine fragment checksums
+when all fragments have CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and are split at even offsets.
+For now, we just set ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE to avoid "hw csum failure"
+warnings in the kernel log when fragmented frames are received. In
+consequence, skb_pull_rcsum() can be replaced with skb_pull().
+
+Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with
+CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see
+batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do nor occur on every
+system using batman-adv. I could reproduce this issue by stacking
+batman-adv on top of a VXLAN interface.
