Before patch, CWR packets had SKB_GSO_TCP_ECN set (0x5 = SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCP_ECN). After patch, all GRO events gso_type=0x1 (SKB_GSO_TCPV4 only), no 0x5 observed.

Hold on.. Sounds like hns3 zeros ToS out (?!)

This would be invalid and illegal for HW-GRO. If hns3 nukes crucial IP
header fields it should probably be advertising LRO not HW-GRO in the
first place.
