Hi Bae,  thanks for this detailed report and analysis.

This patch was fixing a more serious bug, since this was possibly
causing corruptions and kernel crashes.

What you describe is simply a packet being dropped, on a very low
probability.

Which is not a huge deal for TCP since this packet will eventually be
re-transmitted.

Also most TCP stacks/flows use DF bit set to not allow packets being
fragmented...

Anyway see my answer at the end of this mail.

I guess the following patch should help, can you test it ?
