Subject: kernel panic in skb_copy_bits

Hi,

When we do fail over test with iscsi + multipath by reset the switches
on OVM(2.6.39) we hit the panic:

Reviewed vmcore I found the skb->users is 1 at the moment, checked network neighbour 
history I found skb_get() be replaced by skb_copy by commit 7e36763b2c:

commit 7e36763b2c204d59de4e88087f84a2c0c8421f25

    [NET]: Fix race in generic address resolution.                            
        
    neigh_update sends skb from neigh->arp_queue while neigh_timer_handler    
    has increased skbs refcount and calls solicit with the                    
    skb. neigh_timer_handler should not increase skbs refcount but make a     
    copy of the skb and do solicit with the copy.

    Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>                      

So can you please give some details of the race? per vmcore seems like the skb data
be freed, I suspected skb_get() lost at somewhere?
I reverted above commit the panic not occurred during our testing.

Any input will appreciate!

Best Regards,
Joe
