x86_64 checksum fix. none

Description Kevin W. Rudd 2004-08-26 21:41:48 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Description of problem:
There are checksum problems in the x86_64 environment that are keeping
multicast support from working properly.  This has been documented and
fixed in newer kernels.  The original linux-kernel thread and patch
can be found via the following URL:

http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2004/Feb/7006.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.21-18.ELsmp

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run tcpdump or ethereal to capture igmp traffic
2. Join a multicast group.  For our test, we were joining 225.1.1.13.
3. Note the IGMP checksum
    
Actual Results:  The Membership Report packet sent had an incorrect
checksum:

Frame 12 (54 bytes on wire, 54 bytes captured)
Ethernet II, Src: 00:0d:60:53:04:47, Dst: 01:00:5e:00:00:16
Internet Protocol, Src Addr: 160.108.89.103 (160.108.89.103), Dst Addr:
224.0.0.22 (224.0.0.22)
Internet Group Management Protocol
    IGMP Version: 3
    Type: Membership Report (0x22)
    Header checksum: 0xf8fd (incorrect, should be 0xf7ef)
    Num Group Records: 1
    Group Record : 225.1.1.13  Change To Exclude Mode
        Record Type: Change To Exclude Mode (4)
        Aux Data Len: 0
        Num Src: 0
        Multicast Address: 225.1.1.13 (225.1.1.13)


Expected Results:  The checksum should be 0xf7ef for that particular
Membership Report.

A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U4
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-20.6.EL).
