I'm not sure. I've never trusted the numbers coming from that panic
message (which hurts debugging, I know). I don't believe the fault
address, and the IP doesn't match anything in the symbol table, so I
don't believe that either.

No. Above the skb_checksum frame, there are lots of occurrences of
dst_output, which is a function pointer being passed down the stack.
What remains looks like the remnants of old stacks.
Between csum_partial and skb_checksum, there's a big frame (and I
don't know what's causing that) with what looks like old stack in it.

Yup, that sounds like a good idea.
