TSO currently fails when the skb's gso_type field has more than one bit
set.
TSO packets can be passed from userspace using PF_PACKET, TUNTAP and a
few others, using virtio_net_hdr (e.g., PACKET_VNET_HDR). This includes
virtualization, such as QEMU, a real use-case.
The gso_type and gso_size fields as passed from userspace in
virtio_net_hdr are not trusted blindly by the kernel. It adds gso_type
|= SKB_GSO_DODGY to force the packet to enter the software GSO stack
for verification.
This issue might similarly come up when the CWR bit is set in the TCP
header for congestion control, causing the SKB_GSO_TCP_ECN gso_type bit
to be set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
