Oh right. Your patch on the right way, but changelog very confusing.

BTW, setting a mtu of 1KB on TBF never worked if your ethernet device
has MTU of 1500.

I think that we should emit a warning if TBF mtu is too low.

Ideally we should not even call skb_gso_segment() at all.

I'll post an updated version of the patch with a more detailed changelog
and explanations.

Thanks !
