When gso_segs is left at 0, a number of assumptions will end up being incorrect throughout the stack. For example, in the GRO-path, we set NAPI_GRO_CB()->count to gso_segs. So, if a non-LRO'ed packet followed by an LRO'ed packet is being processed in GRO, the first one will have NAPI_GRO_CB()->count set to 1 and the next one to 0 (in dev_gro_receive()). Since commit531d0d32de("net/mlx5: Correctly set gso_size when LRO is used") these packets will get merged (as their gso_size now matches). So, we end up in gro_complete() with NAPI_GRO_CB()->count == 1 and thus don't call inet_gro_complete(). Meaning, checksum-validation in tcp_checksum_complete() will fail with a "hw csum failure". Even before the above mentioned commit, incorrect gso_segs means that other things like TCP's accounting of incoming packets (tp->segs_in, data_segs_in, rcv_ooopack) will be incorrect. Which means that if one does bytes_received/data_segs_in, the result will be bigger than the MTU. Fix this by initializing gso_segs correctly when LRO is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
