I currently working for 6lowpan and try to use the fragmentation api like in ipv6.

Maybe I do something wrong with using the api but I don't catch any mistakes and
my sk_buff is already sent to the ipv6 layer correctly.

In a very poor connection with high payload(which is good for testing) I got a nullpointer
dereference when the fragmentation expire timer occurs.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Maybe this occurs because I did some mistakes in my current 6lowpan fragmentation
implementation. That's why I sending it to this mailinglist... or maybe I found a bug.

The patch fix this issue you can find the removal of skb_dst_drop(skb) which
was comming in on commit id: 97599dc792b45b1669c3cdb9a4b365aad0232f65

Maybe this wasn't a correct solution. We need the sk_buff sometimes when the expire occurs to call
the icmp6_send function.
