yes, AFAIK this is beck-portable.

If you refer to shrinking both IPoIB and gso control buffer, as proposed
by Roland in:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146787279825501&w=2

that will not work, since the gso control buffer is grown a bit since
the first time the bug was detected.

This patch does not have that sort of issue.

Not sure if that helps, but a 3rd party has already confirmed privately
that this patch fixes the bug for them.
