SKB_CHECKSUM_COMPLET(9)	       Linux Networking	       SKB_CHECKSUM_COMPLET(9)

NAME
       skb_checksum_complete - Calculate checksum of an entire packet

SYNOPSIS
       __sum16 skb_checksum_complete(struct sk_buff * skb);

ARGUMENTS
       skb
	   packet to process

DESCRIPTION
       This function calculates the checksum over the entire packet plus the
       value of skb->csum. The latter can be used to supply the checksum of a
       pseudo header as used by TCP/UDP. It returns the checksum.

       For protocols that contain complete checksums such as ICMP/TCP/UDP,
       this function can be used to verify that checksum on received packets.
       In that case the function should return zero if the checksum is
       correct. In particular, this function will return zero if
       skb->ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which indicates that the
       hardware has already verified the correctness of the checksum.
