Some of the locally generated frames marked as GSO which
arrive at virtio_net_hdr_from_skb() have no GSO_TYPE, no
fragments (data_len = 0) and length significantly shorter
than the MTU (752 in my experiments).

This is observed on raw sockets reading off vEth interfaces
in all 4.x and 5.x kernels I tested.

A bit more info on how to reproduce couldn't hurt here.

Will do, a v3 will follow shortly.



These frames are reported as invalid while they are in fact
gso-less frames.

This patch marks the vnet header as no-GSO for them instead
of reporting it as invalid.

Eric - as you looked at this in the past, would you mind acking please?

I need to move this a few lines up - the kernel build robot is quite rightfully complaining.
