You say you have observed for a long time a problem.

The only person participating in this thread who is one of the
networking maintainers is Patrick McHardy.

Did _he_ say this was a known and unfixable problem?

He wanted to help you and you pissed him off because you refuxed to give
him dmesg, .config and other information that would have helped him to
debug your problem. If you don't feel obliged to help the persons
responsible for the part of the kernel you have a problem with to debug
your problem your whole initial mail was pointless.
