Is it OK to ignore or decrease pull length for udp gro fraglist packet?
It could save the normal packet and sent to user correctly.

In common/net/core/filter.c
static inline int __bpf_try_make_writable(struct sk_buff *skb,
              unsigned int write_len)
{ 
+	if (skb_is_gso(skb) && (skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type &
+		(SKB_GSO_UDP  |SKB_GSO_UDP_L4)) {
+		return 0;

+	     or if (write_len > skb_headlen(skb))
+			write_len = skb_headlen(skb);
+	}
	return skb_ensure_writable(skb, write_len);
}

Is it OK as below? Is it OK to add log to record the error for easy
checking issue.

In net/core/skbuff.c skb_segment_list
+unsigned int mss = skb_shinfo(head_skb)->gso_size;
+bool err_len = false;

+if ( mss != GSO_BY_FRAGS && mss != skb_headlen(head_skb)) {
+	pr_err("skb is dropped due to messed data. gso size:%d,
+		hdrlen:%d", mss, skb_headlen(head_skb)
+	if (!list_skb)
+		goto err_linearize;
+	else
+		err_len = true;
+}

...
+if (err_len) {
+	goto err_linearize;
+}

skb_get(skb);

In function skb_segment_list(), it just handle udp fraglist gro packet.
nr_frags will be 0 here. 

It records a SKB_GSO_DODGY in gso_type when doing partially eaten for
fraglist in __pskb_pull_tail and in skb_segment() it will check and
disable NETIF_F_SG. 
skb_segment could segment data as gso_size even if it is pulled into
hearder skb. I am not sure if it can decode when frag_list is NULL or
partially eaten as no BPF pulls illegal length for tcp packet. Our
platfrom doesn't meet issues in skb_segment for tcp packet till now.
