Thanks for the detailed analysis! skb_gro_reset_offset() checks if kernel can read data in the fragments directly as an optimization, in case the entire header is in a fragment. IIUC DEBUG_KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP only affects the mappings from explicit kmap calls, which GRO won't make - it will fall back to pulling the header out of the fragment and end up in skb_copy_bits(), i.e. the loop you fixed. So GRO should be good. I think..
