When an ethernet frame is padded to meet the minimum ethernet frame
size, the padding octets are not covered by the hardware checksum.
Fortunately the padding octets are usually zero's, which don't affect
checksum. However, we have a switch which pads non-zero octets, this
causes kernel hardware checksum fault repeatedly.
Prior to:
commit '88078d98d1bb ("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE ...")'
skb checksum was forced to be CHECKSUM_NONE when padding is detected.
After it, we need to keep skb->csum updated, like what we do for RXFCS.
However, fixing up CHECKSUM_COMPLETE requires to verify and parse IP
headers, it is not worthy the effort as the packets are so small that
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE can't save anything.
Fixes:

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.
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.
