Also, __vlan_get_protocol() deals with big endian Ether Types, so I think you need something like: ethertype = be16_to_cpu(__vlan_get_protocol(skb, cpu_to_be16(ethertype), NULL)); Which is a bit ugly, so perhaps it is nicer to switch things around so ethertype is __be16. And perhaps the return value of skb_eth_raw_ethertype is __be16 too. > > > + > > + if (ethertype != ETH_P_IP && ethertype != ETH_P_IPV6) { > > + /* Hardware offloaded checksumming isn't working on non-IP frames. > > + * This happens for example on some DSA switches using a custom > > + * ethertype.

We had workarounds were the ethernet checksumming engine would be bypassed for larger frames, this fixed devices using DSA, but regressed devices where the ethernet was connected directly to a PHY. The devices with a PHY connected directly can't handle large frames either way, with or without bypass. Looking at the size of the frame is probably just wrong. Rework the workaround such that we just bypass the checksumming engine if the ethertype inside the actual frame is something else than 0x0800 (IPv4) or 0x86dd (IPv6). These are the only frames the checksumming engine can actually handle. VLAN framing (0x8100) also works fine. We can't inspect skb->protocol because DSA frames will sometimes have a custom ethertype despite skb->protocol is e.g. 0x0800. After this both devices with direct ethernet attached such as D-Link DNS-313 and devices with a DSA switch with a custom ethertype such as D-Link DIR-685 work fine.
