I do not think loading iph before all skb_gro_header() and
skb_gro_header_slow() calls is wise.

pskb_may_pull() can re-allocate skb->head

I would probably pull the whole TCP header here, before calling
tcp4_check_fraglist_gro(head, skb)
and no longer do this twice from tcp4_check_fraglist_gro() and tcp_gro_receive()

Perhaps define a new inline helper, that will be called from
tcp4_gro_receive() and tcp6_gro_receive(),
and not anymore from tcp_gro_receive()

static inline struct tcphdr *tcp_gro_pull_header(...)
{
....
off = skb_gro_offset(skb);
hlen = off + sizeof(*th);
th = skb_gro_header(skb, hlen, off);
if (unlikely(!th))
return NULL;

thlen = th->doff * 4;
if (thlen < sizeof(*th))
return NULL;

hlen = off + thlen;
if (!skb_gro_may_pull(skb, hlen))
th = skb_gro_header_slow(skb, hlen, off);

return th;
}

Will fix.
