Subject: ip_rcv_finish() NULL pointer kernel panic

All,

 	I am experiencing a kernel panic on different (but identical) 
hardware in ip_rcv_finish on Linux 4.4.39 (but I can see no changes that 
would improve the situation on 4.4.44, or master).

Looking at the disassembly at the last stack frame it looks like we are 
calling a NULL function pointer in net/ipv4/ip_input.c:365

Panic:

This leads me to believe that ((struct dst_entry *)(skb->_skb_refdst & SKB_DST_PTRMASK))->input is NULL and we are jumping there (callq).


Under what conditions would ((struct dst_entry *)(skb->_skb_refdst & 
SKB_DST_PTRMASK))->input be NULL at this point ?

Thanks,
