The issue is a check which is causing a oops/crash when a send buffer is
referenced more than once when calling pskb_expand_head(). As mentioned
in comment #18, this seems to be introduced by a series of patches
modifying the way fragments are handled.

The networking code is quite complex, so I am not sure whether some
detail I found actually is causing this issues (one backport claims to
drop some extraneous initialization in ipv6 which was not done in the
ipv4 counterpart), but I created a test kernel to see what happens. If
someone could give http://people.canonical.com/~smb/lp1824687/ a try and
let me know I would highly appreciate.
