This is not a typo. I intended skb->data_len = 8.

skb_gro_receive():
        unsigned int len = skb_gro_len(skb);
        [...]
done:
        NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->count++;
        p->data_len += len;

head_skb's data_len is the sum of skb_gro_len for each skb of the frags.
data_len could be 8 if server sent a small size packet and it is GROed
to head_skb.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

I am not sure gso_type can be cleared even when GSO is needed.
