+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.
