The steps to reproduce as follow,

1. On Host1, setup brige br0(192.168.1.106)
2. Boot a kvm guest(192.168.1.105) on Host1 and start httpd
3. Start IPVS service on Host1
   ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.1.106:80 -s rr
   ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.1.106:80 -r 192.168.1.105:80 -m
4. Run apache benchmark on Host2(192.168.1.101)
   ab -n 1000 http://192.168.1.106/

The panic happened in br_nf_forward_finish because skb->nf_bridge is NULL.
skb->nf_bridge was set to NULL in ip_vs_reply4 hook.

br_nf_forward_ip():
  NF_HOOK(pf, NF_INET_FORWARD, skb, brnf_get_logical_dev(skb, in), parent,
                br_nf_forward_finish);

This calls IPVS hook ip_vs_reply4.

ip_vs_reply4
  ip_vs_out
    handle_response
      ip_vs_notrack
        nf_reset()
        {
          skb->nf_bridge = NULL;
        }

Julian said,
    Actually, IPVS wants in this case just to replace nfct
    with untracked version. May be it is better to replace
    the nf_reset(skb) call in ip_vs_notrack() with a
    nf_conntrack_put(skb->nfct) call.

This patch does what Julian suggested and it fixes the panic.

skb->nf_bridge was set to NULL in ip_vs_reply4 hook.

This calls IPVS hook ip_vs_reply4.

      ip_vs_notrack
        nf_reset()
        {

	Very good. Thanks for tracking and fixing this bug.
Can you send a copy to Simon Horman [off-list ref]
with correct Subject. As this change can go to stable
kernels you can also improve the comments, for example:

The steps to reproduce as follow,

2. Boot a kvm guest(192.168.1.105) on Host1 and start httpd
3. Start IPVS service on Host1

Actually, IPVS wants in this case just to replace nfct
with untracked version. So replace the nf_reset(skb) call
in ip_vs_notrack() with a nf_conntrack_put(skb->nfct) call.

It seems to me that this problem has been present since 2.6.37
and thus is stable material.
