Which then hits the loopback device gets pushed into the rx path and is eventually dropped. The following patch fixes this. Hopefully, this is easy and fast enough for you Dave. [PATCH] net: fix deliver_no_wcard regression on loopback device deliver_no_wcard is not being set in skb_copy_header. In the skb_cloned case it is not being cleared and may cause the skb to be dropped when the loopback device pushes it back up the stack.
