Hm.. how would net/core/tso.c avoid this?
I can't see anything related to truesize there.
Note that this work since it is guaranteed that we release the skbs in
order.

I am not sure I follow here.
You want me to test:
if (skb_gso->destructor == tcp_wfree) ?

I checked that code using iperf and saw that I don't get into this if,
but I (probably wrongly) assumed that other applications would set a
flag on the socket (forgive my ignorance) that would make this if be taken.
