The skb is corrupted: head is at ffff8800b0bf2800 while data is at
ffa00500b0bf284c.

Figuring out how this corruption happened is going to be hard without a
way to reproduce the problem.

Denys, can you confirm you're using a vanilla kernel?
Also I guess the ppp devices and tc settings are handled by accel-ppp.
If so, can you share more info about your setup (accel-ppp.conf, radius
attributes, iptables...) so that I can try to reproduce it on my
machines?

Regards

Guillaume
