Thanks, I will fix that.

Thanks, I'll switch things around as you suggest.

That seems likely to me.
From: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
MPLS: Use mpls_features to activate software MPLS GSO segmentation
If an MPLS packet requires segmentation then use mpls_features
to determine if the software implementation should be used.
As no driver advertises MPLS GSO segmentation this will always be
the case.
I had not noticed that this was necessary before as software MPLS GSO
segmentation was already being used in my test environment. I believe that
the reason for that is the skbs in question always had fragments and the
driver I used does not advertise NETIF_F_FRAGLIST (which seems to be the
case for most drivers). Thus software segmentation was activated by
skb_gso_ok().
This introduces the overhead of an extra call to skb_network_protocol()
in the case where where CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO is set and
skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE.
Thanks to Jesse Gross for prompting me to investigate this.

v4.2
* As suggested by Eric Dumazet
- Use htons() instead of cpu_to_be16()
- Refactor code to pass type to net_mpls_features.
v4.1
* Following fedback from Thomas Graff and Jesse Gross
- Use ethertype of packet to detect MPLS rather than
relying on mac_len indicating a gap between the end of L2
and the beginning of L3. That assumption seems to
be broken by the GRE GSO code.
- Move mpls_features handling into harmonize_features()
This allows an existing call in there to skb_network_protocol()
to be leveraged.
- Removed acks as the patch has now changed in a material way
v4
* As suggested by YAMAMOTO Takashi
- Correct typos in comment
* Added Ack from YAMAMOTO Takashi
v3
* As requested by David Miller
- Do not mark net_mpls_features as inline
- Correct alignment of parameters
v2
* Added Ack from Jesse Gross
* Removed duplicate 'Thus' from changelog
