These functions compute an IP checksum by computing a 64-bit sum and folding it to 32 bits (the "nofold" in their names refers to folding down to 16 bits). However, doing (u32) (s + (s >> 32)) is not sufficient to fold a 64-bit sum to 32 bits correctly. The addition can produce a carry out from bit 31, which needs to be added in to the sum to produce the correct result. To fix this, we copy the from64to32() function from lib/checksum.c and use that.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
