I see where the bug came from. Indeed IPv6 does do fragmentation but only for tunnel mode. While your patch added a check that also affected transport mode. So in addition to the GSO fix we should also make the MTU check conditional to tunnel mode.Here is the patch: ---8<--- ipv6: Fix IPsec pre-encap fragmentation check The IPv6 IPsec pre-encap path performs fragmentation for tunnel-mode packets. That is, we perform fragmentation pre-encap rather than post-encap. A check was added later to ensure that proper MTU information is passed back for locally generated traffic. Unfortunately this check was performed on all IPsec packets, including transport-mode packets. What's more, the check failed to take GSO into account. The end result is that transport-mode GSO packets get dropped at the check. This patch fixes it by moving the tunnel mode check forward as well as adding the GSO check.

Applied to the ipsec tree, thanks Herbert!
