Oh this is definitely useful.

I thought we might have a problem now with have GRE enabled GRO in
native GRO layer. I was wondering if the double attempt to GRO packets a
second time was a problem.

So it looks like ESP provides packets that are not very gentle for
skb_gro_receive()...

Could you provide scripts/decodecode output ?

Thanks
