Maybe I'm misunderstanding you below? Do you just want the above two
lines moved from the patch? (sure I can do that... as it is just an
extra check of the "head"/first segment of the packet, and only done if
BPF_MTU_CHK_SEGS is set)

That is why it is a flag, that need to be explicitly set.

The complaint from Maze (and others) were that when skb_is_gso then all
the MTU checks are bypassed. This flag enables checking the GSO part
via skb_gso_validate_network_len(). We cannot enable it per default,
as you say, it is universally correct in all cases.

I'm using the flag in the bpf-examples code[1], this is how I've tested
the code path.
I've not found a way to generate GSO packet via the selftests
infrastructure via bpf_prog_test_run_xattr(). I'm

> I would just drop the flag altogether for the tc helper..
As explain I cannot drop the flag altogether, I would also have to
remove the code then. Sorry, but I don't 100% understand the change
you are requesting.
