We did the following for debugging:

diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c
index 62b06523b..4c943b774 100644
--- a/net/core/dev.c

+		skb_warn_bad_offload(skb);
+
 	if (gso_segs > dev->gso_max_segs)
 		return features & ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK;

Following skb then triggered the skb_warn_bad_offload. Not sure whether this helps
to find out where in the network stack something goes wrong.
