The req->offload checks assume the offload is to the expected
offload_netdev, but you do not verify the data arrived as expected. You
might get lucky if both netdev's belong to the same PCI device (assuming
the h/w handles it a certain way), but it will not if the netdev's
belong to different devices.

Consider a system with 2 network cards -- even if it is 2 mlx5 based
devices. One setup can have the system using a bond with 1 port from
each PCI device. The tx path picks a leg based on the hash of the ntuple
and that (with Tariq's bond patches) becomes the expected offload
device. A similar example holds for a pure routing setup with ECMP. For
both there is full redundancy in the network - separate NIC cards
connected to separate TORs to have independent network paths.

A packet arrives on the *other* netdevice - you have *no* control over
the Rx path. Your current checks will think the packet arrived with DDP
but it did not.
