In above trace looks like IPVS-NAT is used between
local client and some real server. IPVS handles this skb
at LOCAL_IN and calls ip_vs_route_me_harder(). If we have
skb->sk at LOCAL_IN, my first thought is about early demux.
If I remember correctly, looking at commit f5a41847acc535e2
("ipvs: move ip_route_me_harder for ICMP") that introduced
this rerouting (2.6.37), it was needed because at that time TCP
used rt_src from received skb to select daddr in ip_send_reply().
As packets to server are DNAT-ed and packets to client are
SNAT-ed we used rerouting to fill rt_src with correct IP
after SNAT.
Now when routing cache is removed in 3.6 and
tcp_v4_send_reset() is changed to provide ip_hdr(skb)->saddr
instead of rt_src it should be safe to remove this rerouting,
it is enough that ip_hdr(skb)->saddr was updated on IPVS-SNAT at
LOCAL_IN. In fact, rt_src was removed early in 3.0 with
commit 0a5ebb8000c5362 ("ipv4: Pass explicit daddr arg to
ip_send_reply().").
This is only to explain above stack. Not sure
if problem is related somehow to early demux but such
commits look interesting:
- commit 6b8dbcf2c44fd7a ("bridge: netfilter: orphan skb before invoking
ip netfilter hooks")
Also, it would be good to know which 3.x kernel between
3.13 and 3.17 fixes the problem, it will narrow the search.
