This patch still gives a warning if  MAX_TCP_HEADER < GRO_MAX_HEAD +
64 (in my local build)

Why not simply use SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(SKB_SMALL_HEAD_CACHE_SIZE) , and
remove the 1024 value ?

I would  make sure the small cache can be used by both TCP tx packets
and GRO ones.

After the following patch, I no longer have the warning and :
