Thank you for the feedback.

I most probably messed-up while extracting the info from dmsg, as this
issue gives a couple of splats almost concurrently. Please let me re-do 
the test and post a more resonable dmsg.

The problem with the current code is that in the tcp_rcv_established()
-> tcp_queue_rcv() path, the skb_dst() is not cleared.

Thanks,

Paolo
