Let's not speculate, let's find out for sure if snd_una is surpassing high_seq while we're in this state. Andrew please give this debugging patch a spin, and also what is your workload? I'd like to play with it too. I've tried to code this patch so that if the bug triggers your machine shouldn't crash and burn completely, just spit out the log message.
I'm running into the same bug as Andew, i was able to reproduce using Dave's patch within minutes: TCP BUG: high_seq==NULL [c3c9cc54] q[c3c94edc] t[c3c9cc54] The after(snd_una, high_seq) check is not triggered.
