It is fixed in mainline more than 2 years ago:
===
commit 8f1b03a4c18e8f3f0801447b62330faa8ed3bb37
Author: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

ipvs: allow transmit of GRO aggregated skbs
Attempt at allowing LVS to transmit skbs of greater than MTU length that
have been aggregated by GRO and can thus be deaggregated by GSO.
===
Without this fix IPVS assumes that large packets
are received and sends FRAG_NEEDED messages. For old
kernels GRO should be disabled to avoid the problem.
