Thanks for CCing me.
I'll dig in the code tomorrow but my first thought when I saw this was
could it be possible that we have a race condition between
ip_frag_queue() and inet_frag_evict(), more precisely between the
ipq_kill() calls from ip_frag_queue and inet_frag_evict since the frag
could be found before we have entered the evictor which then can add it to
its expire list but the ipq_kill() from ip_frag_queue() can do a list_del
after we release the chain lock in the evictor so we may end up like this ?
