Dave,

Thanks, going net and -stable will help here. I'm still cloning net, but 
from git web looking it seems that you've applied Roland's and Eric's 
patches on net but not yours... e.g net-next commit 
a0417fa3a18a14be1f4d9cffcf378a7c42d92a91 
"net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound explicit" is missing from net, 
and it has to be applied before Roland's.

Or.
