I just checked in a fix for the TSO oops with RB-tree to
net-2.6.22 as follows:

commit 7de509de7c166598b0873dc9ef4c98424307f6b5
Author: David S. Miller [off-list ref]

    [TCP]: Fix bug in tcp_rb_insert.
    
    We should advance rb_parent inside of the while() loop
    body not in the loop test, otherwise rb_parent is always
    NULL. :-/
