From: Maxim Mikityanskiy <redacted> skb->len may be bigger than 65535 in UDP-based tunnels that have BIG TCP enabled. If GSO aggregates packets that large, set the length in the UDP header to 0, so that tcpdump can print such packets properly (treating them as RFC 2675 jumbograms). Later in the pipeline, __udp_gso_segment will set uh->len to the size of individual packets.
