I get this panic every 1-2 days.
Also with 7a611e69b26069a511d9d5251c6a28af6c521121 (commit before 3.6.0-rc4).
Could you please post iptables-save output?
My guess is you're using NFLOG in INPUT?

If so, I bet its caused by the tcp early demux stuff.
Does that crash go away with ip_early_demux sysctl off?

My guess is its assigning skb->sk with TIMEWAIT sockets, which
would explain the crash.
Yes thats probably the reason.

First I thought changing demux to not do the lookup of TIMEWAIT slot in
__inet_lookup_established(), then it sounds not optimal to redo the full
lookup for ESTABLISHED sockets later in TCP stack.

So it seems we should fix xt_LOG instead

Thanks Florian !

[PATCH] xt_LOG: take care of timewait sockets

Sami Farin reported crashes in xt_LOG because it assumes skb->sk is a
full blown socket.

But with TCP early demux, we can have skb->sk pointing to a timewait
socket.
