This crash points here.

static void nf_flow_offload_gc_step(struct nf_flowtable *flow_table,
                                    struct flow_offload *flow, void *data)
{
        if (nf_flow_has_expired(flow) ||
            nf_ct_is_dying(flow->ct) ||
            nf_flow_is_outdated(flow))
                flow_offload_teardown(flow);

        if (test_bit(NF_FLOW_TEARDOWN, &flow->flags)) { <--

Is this always reproducible on your testbed?

Thanks.
