Excuse me. I try to implement ndo_gso_check() with kernel 3.18.
However, I still get packets with gso and their skb lengths are more
than the acceptable one. Do I miss something?

+static bool rtl8152_gso_check(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)
+{
+	if ((skb->len + sizeof(struct tx_desc)) > agg_buf_sz)
+		return false;
+
+	return true;
+}
