When splitting a GSO segment that consists of encapsulated packets, the skb->mac_len of the segments can end up being set wrong, causing packet drops in particular when using act_mirred and ifb interfaces in combination with a qdisc that splits GSO packets. This happens because at the time skb_segment() is called, network_header will point to the inner header, throwing off the calculation in skb_reset_mac_len(). The network_header is subsequently adjust by the outer IP gso_segment handlers, but they don't set the mac_len. Fix this by adding skb_reset_mac_len() calls to both the IPv4 and IPv6 gso_segment handlers, after they modify the network_header. Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for his help in identifying the cause of the bug.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
