I just crashed too, no backtrace. netperf tcp stream test, and was on bk14 + dave's 5 patches, p4/e1000 -> Intel Pentium M proc (1.7GHz). Going to repeat on slower SMPs with serial console, get more info..
I can reproduce this now, it has to do with some weird combinations of packet loss and SACK'ing. It's one of the BUG_ON() assertions triggering in tcp_tso_acked() as I suspected in Andi's first report. Working on a fix.
