Current in kernel just UDP uses SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST to do GRO. In
udp_offload.c udp4_gro_complete gso_type adds "SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST|
SKB_GSO_UDP_L4". Here checking these two flags is to limit the packet
as "UDP + need GSO + fraglist".

We could remove SKB_GSO_UDP_L4 check for more packet that may addrive
skb_segment_list.

Is it OK as below?

In common/net/core/filter.c
static inline int __bpf_try_make_writable(struct sk_buff *skb,
unsigned int write_len)
{
+ if (skb_is_gso(skb) && (skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type &
+ SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST) && (write_len > skb_headlen(skb))) {
+ return 0;
+ }
return skb_ensure_writable(skb, write_len);
}

OK, we try make a patch in BPF func.
