 TCP segmentation allows a device to segment a single frame into multiple
 frames with a data payload size specified in skb_shinfo()->gso_size.

 Therefore, any code in the core networking stack must be aware of the

+appropriately.
+
+There are some helpers to make this easier:
+
+ - skb_is_gso(skb) && skb_is_gso_sctp(skb) is the best way to see if
+   an skb is an SCTP GSO skb.
+
+ - For size checks, the skb_gso_validate_*_len family of helpers correctly
+   considers GSO_BY_FRAGS.
+
+ - For manipulating packets, skb_increase_gso_size and skb_decrease_gso_size
+   will check for GSO_BY_FRAGS and WARN if asked to manipulate these skbs.
 
 This also affects drivers with the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST & NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP bits
 set. Note also that NETIF_F_GSO_SCTP is included in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE.
