One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire. Headers are only accounted for the first segment. For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing, an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value. As consequences : 1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits. 2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well. Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len computation. Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch skb->cb[] first word. Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca (net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.
