Shannon, if disabling UFO works around the problem, please check if this
patch helps:

Subject: [PATCH] udp: disallow UFO for sockets with SO_NO_CHECK option

Commit acf8dd0a9d0b ("udp: only allow UFO for packets from SOCK_DGRAM
sockets") disallows UFO for packets sent from raw sockets. We need to do
the same also for SOCK_DGRAM sockets with SO_NO_CHECK option, even if
for a bit different reason: while such socket would override the
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set by ip_ufo_append_data(), gso_size is still set and
bad offloading flags warning is triggered in __skb_gso_segment().

In the IPv6 case, SO_NO_CHECK option is ignored but we need to disallow
UFO for packets sent by sockets with UDP_NO_CHECK6_TX option.

Hi Michal,

Yes, that worked for my test case.
