This harmless warning should be fixed backporting [0] to 4.9 series.

I went over iwlwifi commits since then and I couldn't find any issue
regarding TCP/GSO. That said, I agree that it seems to be harmless in
that setup and that backporting 0b9aefea860063bb39e36bd7fe6c7087fed0ba87
should help on identifying if it's a false-positive or not.

Someone needs to send an email to netdev@ asking for it, though. kernel
bugzilla is not how it's done for networking subsystem. More info in
./Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt . Thanks.

BTW, I had this same warning with vmxnet3 driver with 4.9. I tried a
newer kernel and the message didn't appear. I posted my findings here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864642#95 - for
reference:

It looks like the warning appeared with this first commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=dcb17d22e1c2cd72e72190c736349a675362b3bc
but was later corrected with this second one:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0b9aefea860063bb39e36bd7fe6c7087fed0ba87

The first commit was merged in the 4.9 tree, but not the second one (at
least not up to 4.9.106), and was only merged in 4.11.

So I would conclude the warning may be harmless, unless you got it on a
>= 4.11 kernel. And I also verified I don't get it on such a newer
kernel.

I would close this bug, but it may eventually be nice to backport the second 
commit in 4.9 to avoid the harmless warning.

Searching on the net, there are other reports with the same issue and
with various other drivers.
