Unless you have meta data that says the packet is schedule to have
LSO applied to it and the network interface supports LSO, there
is no way to accurate determine that a packet that "looks wrong"
is going to turn out ok when it is sent by the NIC over the wire.

You cannot use only this information:
(warning) packet length greater than MTU in buffer offset 7384: length=3000

and decide "yes, it's ok, it will be LSO'd" without more data.

What's your point? Could you please describe it with more details?

No, I'm saying that just because the packet contents (data) look like they will be the subject of LSO/hardware checksum does not mean that it will. The flags and other data from the dblk_t are needed.
