I can confirm that 6aafeef03b9d9ecf255f3a80ed85ee070260e1ae "netfilter:
push reasm skb through instead of original frag skbs" fixes the oops
mentioned in this thread. I've applied it to a 3.11.8 kernel and it
fixed the crash. I had to slightly tweak it as it does not apply 100%
cleanly due to 795aa6ef6a1aba99050735eadd0c2341b789b53b " netfilter:
pass hook ops to hookfn". 

So definitely -stable material.

Not sure if you also want to add 9037c3579a277f3a23ba476664629fda8c35f7c4 
"ip6_output: fragment outgoing reassembled skb properly". It did not
have any impact in this particular scenario.

Thanks again,
Michele
