This series is a follow-up on the discussion:

skb_segment is patched to avoid possible overflows in partial GSO. The
primary possible source of too many GSO segments is also addressed:
virtio-net clamps gso_size to >=8 in TCP, as suggested by Eric.

v2 changes: dropped new checks in fastpath from skb_gro_receive and
__virtio_net_hdr_to_skb, replaced the latter with a silent clamp for
gso_size, kept the cheap guard in skb_segment.

  net: Guard for gso_segs overflow in skb_segment
  virtio-net: Ensure that TCP packets don't overflow gso_segs
