[PATCH v4 net-next 2/3] ipv6: refactor ip6_finish_output for GSO handling

From: Yan Zhai
Date: Mon Oct 23 2023 - 22:35:53 EST


Separate GSO and non-GSO packets handling to make the logic cleaner. For
GSO packets, frag_max_size check can be omitted because it is only
useful for packets defragmented by netfilter hooks. Both local output
and GRO logic won't produce GSO packets when defragment is needed. This
also mirrors what IPv4 side code is doing.
