Shouldn't this check be in skb_segment(), right after if (mss ==
GSO_BY_FRAGS), like
                if (unlikely(mss == GSO_BY_FRAGS)) {
                        if (unlikely(!list_skb))
                                goto err;
                        len = list_skb->len;

as the fix of commit 3953c46c3ac7 ("sk_buff: allow segmenting based on
frag sizes").
