Do you still have the vmlinux file with debug symbols that generated
this panic?

Sorry for delay, i didn't had same image on all servers and probably i 
found
cause of panic, but still testing on several servers.
If i remove SFQ qdisc from ppp shapers, servers not rebooting anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. I wonder which interactions between SFQ and
PPP can lead to this problem. I'll take a look.

But still i need around 2 days to make sure that's the reason.

Okay, just let me know if you can confirm that removing SFQ really
solves the problem.

After long testing, i can confirm removing sfq from rules decreased 
panic reboot greatly, tested on many different servers.
I will try today to do some stress tests, to apply on live system at 
night sfq qdiscs, then remove them.
Then i will try also to disconnect all users with sfq qdiscs attached.
Not sure it will help to reproduce the bug, but worth to try.

Still i am hitting once per week some different conntrack bug, sand 
thats why i was confused, i was getting clearly panics in conntrack and 
then something else, i was not sure if it is different bugs, hardware 
glitch or something else.
