Thanks for the reply!

Setting network_offset on dev_gro_receive and inner_network_offset only
in the tunnel callbacks is the best option IMO. I agree that
we want a small patch to net that solves the problem, although I 
think always using ->encap_mark in the common path is not ideal. 

We can avoid changing all the tunnel callbacks by always setting
inner_network_offset in {ipv6,inet}_gro_receive and initialize
network_offset to 0 in dev_gro_receive. It will result in a small
change, without using ->encap_mark.

What are your thoughts?
