I have uploaded the VM core dump [1]. And I don’t know if these logs are helpful in the case of
failing to get the C reproducer currently.

Thanks. So this would be the atomic_inc on shb_shinfo(skb)->dataref, which
matches the __ll_sc_atomic_add in Mark's trace.

Debugging with crash shows 0xffff800071bb3180 and 0xffff800071bb2c80
to be valid skbuffs of len 40, no sk, both pointing to the same head.

That is indeed unaligned:  head = 0xffff8000327c80c9 "", end = 256, giving
skb_shared_info at 0xffff8000327c81c9 and  &skb_shared_info(skb)->dataref
at 0xffff8000327c81c9 + 36 == 0xffff8000327c81ed

From skb->dev and netdev_priv, the tun device has flags 0x1002 ==

IFF_TAP | IFF_NO_PI. This kernel precedes the recent support for
IFF_NAPI and IFF_NAPI_FRAGS. The allocation most likely happened
in tun_build_skb from current->task_frag. It would be a previous
allocation that left alloc_frag->offset unaligned. But perhaps this code
needs to perform alignment before setting skb->head. At least on
platforms where atomic on dataref must be aligned.
