Do you have a particular use case for the BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS?

The complaint from Maze (and others) were that when skb_is_gso then all
the MTU checks are bypassed.  This flag enables checking the GSO part
via skb_gso_validate_network_len().  We cannot enable it per default,
as you say, it is universally correct in all cases.

If there is a desire to have access to the skb_gso_validate_network_len(), I'd
keep that behind the flag then, but would drop the skb_headlen(skb) + len_diff
case given the mentioned case on rx where it would yield misleading results to
users that might be unintuitive & hard to debug.

I also don't see the flag being used anywhere in your selftests, so I presume
not as otherwise you would have added an example there?

I'm using the flag in the bpf-examples code[1], this is how I've tested
the code path.

I've not found a way to generate GSO packet via the selftests
infrastructure via bpf_prog_test_run_xattr().  I'm

[1] https://github.com/xdp-project/bpf-examples/blob/master/MTU-tests/tc_mtu_enforce.c

Haven't checked but likely something as prog_tests/skb_ctx.c might not be sufficient
to pass it into the helper. For real case you might need a netns + veth setup like
some of the other tests are doing and then generating TCP stream from one end to the
other.
