[ Upstream commit 77bf1c55b2acc7fa3734b14f4561e3d75aea1a90 ]
When gso_segs is left at 0, a number of assumptions will end up being incorrect throughout the stack.
For example, in the GRO-path, we set NAPI_GRO_CB()->count to gso_segs. So, if a non-LRO'ed packet followed by an LRO'ed packet is being processed in GRO, the first one will have NAPI_GRO_CB()->count set to 1 and the next one to 0 (in dev_gro_receive()). Since commit 531d0d32de3e ("net/mlx5: Correctly set gso_size when LRO is used") these packets will get merged (as their gso_size now matches). So, we end up in gro_complete() with NAPI_GRO_CB()->count == 1 and thus don't call inet_gro_complete(). Meaning, checksum-validation in tcp_checksum_complete() will fail with a "hw csum failure".
Even before the above mentioned commit, incorrect gso_segs means that other things like TCP's accounting of incoming packets (tp->segs_in, data_segs_in, rcv_ooopack) will be incorrect. Which means that if one does bytes_received/data_segs_in, the result will be bigger than the MTU.
Fix this by initializing gso_segs correctly when LRO is used.
