Hey Jon from Nutanix AHV R&D here - We also see this issue on RHEL,
SLE15, and vanilla kernels. In all three of those cases, the problem
wasn't with AHV, but with a problematic set of backport that was tagged
as a CVE, but caused a GSO-based performance regression. This can be
reproduced on non-Nutanix AHV hosts too.

Cross-referencing:
RHEL bugs:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-62411
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-67427

CentOS stream PR to fix this: 
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/5623

Generic reproduction from the Tailscale community, lot of great info in this 
thread:
https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/13041#issuecomment-2294011607

TLDR, the breaking commit is:
net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in virtio_net_hdr

See commits with Fixes tag:
Fixes: 89add40066f9 ("net: drop bad gso csum_start and offset in 
virtio_net_hdr")

Fixing commits in our other cases with RHEL, SLE15, and generic vanilla 
upstream kernels:
udp: fix receiving fraglist GSO packets
net: tighten bad gso csum offset check in virtio_net_hdr

Any chance this specific ubuntu kernel has "net: drop bad gso csum_start
and offset in virtio_net_hdr" and not "net: tighten bad gso csum offset
check in virtio_net_hdr"?
