gVNIC 1.0.0 does not support checksum offloads(?), does it need to be fatal ?

[HaseebLUMS]

I am running into the following fatal error while starting machnet.

=> Hardware does not support checksum offloads.

Driver information:
driver: gve
version: 1.0.0

capabilities (via ethtool -k)

tx-checksum-ipv4: off [fixed]

In the source code, here is the issue

// Making this fatal; not sure what NIC does not support checksum offloads.
LOG(FATAL) << "Hardware does not support checksum offloads.";

Hi @HaseebLUMS

Would ya have a look at this commit 93f1472

Mainly, this particular file src/core/drivers/dpdk/pmd.cc

You are right and it does not have to be FATAL. Feel free to change it to WARNING and see if it solves your problem.

Also, feel free to create PR, and clean up GCP support. Happy to review and help out.

Thanks,
