Your understanding is right. The data path is GRO -> BPF 6 to 4 ->
GSO.

Sorry for the confusion. head_skb what I mentioned was a skb linear
part. I'm considering a single SKB with frags too.

The condition what I made uses skb->data_len not skb_gro_len. Does
skb->data_len have a different meaning on each layer? As I know,
data_len indicates the amount of frags or frag_list. skb->data_len
should be > 20 in the sample case because the payload size of the skb
linear part is the same with mss.
We can modify netif_needs_gso as another option to hit
skb_needs_linearize in validate_xmit_skb. But I think we should compare
skb->gso_size and skb->data_len too to check if mss exceed a payload
size.
