Yes, maybe igb has a problem sending a gro-packet if it is an isatap in gre.

igb has no problem sending gro-packets which are pure isatap or which are ipv4 
(tcp/udp) in gre with 4.1.12 + these patches.

And it had no problem with 4.1.11 with isatap in gre.

Disabling gso for the interface does help.

I'll test pure 4.1.12 soon.
