The git bisect has implicated:

b6a7719aedd7e5c0f2df7641aa47386111682df4 is the first bad commit

     ipv4: hash net ptr into fragmentation bucket selection

     As namespaces are sometimes used with overlapping ip address ranges,
     we should also use the namespace as input to the hash to select the ip
     fragmentation counter bucket.

I cloned a "fresh" davem net-next tree (before today's accepts and 
message to Linus) which made kernels tagged as 4.0.0-rc6+ and that still 
hung.  When I reverted the commit implicated above, the resulting kernel 
didn't hang when I tried to ping through a vxlan interface.
