Your below trace says 3.14.29ltsi-WR7.0.0.0 ...

As Dave said, please retest with something up to date, like 4.2 kernel,
or latest -net git tree.

Besides, the *upstream* xmit_more changes first went into 3.18 ...
nearest git describe is at:

   $ git describe 0b725a2ca61bedc33a2a63d0451d528b268cf975
   v3.17-rc1-251-g0b725a2

So, that only tells me, that you are reporting a possible bug based on
some non-upstream kernel ... ? Thus, it's not even possible to verify
if the actual backport was correct ?
