This will always panic as each segment only contains enough space for one MSS. This was not detected earlier because linear packets should be rare for GSO. In fact it still remains to be seen what exactly created the linear packets that triggered this bug. Basically the only time this should happen is if someone enables GSO emulation on an interface that does not support SG. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
