Did a:
         else {
                 err = skb_copy_datagram_from_iter(skb, 0, from, len);
+               pr_err("vnet_hdr_sz=%d sizeof(gso)=%lu\n", tun->vnet_hdr_sz, 
sizeof(gso));
                 if (!err && msg_control) {

Got, for tun:
[   50.514165] tun: vnet_hdr_sz=12 sizeof(gso)=10

for tap:
[   82.911840] tun: vnet_hdr_sz=10 sizeof(gso)=10

other values were just as before.
