The question is simple, does your hardware guarantee that on
output GSO will turn the packet into exactly the same sequence
of packets that was seen on input, with no changes (apart from
what the stack would have done to them anyway, e.g., TTL update)
whatsoever?

If not then you mustn't set this and also you must disable it
if forwarding/bridging is used.

Cheers,
