(patched with UDPv6 transport) the router (another box) OOPSes.

tcpdump suggests the problem appears as soon as my client sends
fragmented UDPv6 packets towards the destination. It does not happen
when nf_conntrack_ipv6 is not loaded. This is the OOPS as dumped from
the serial console:
Does this patch help?

Yes, seems to be working fine.

Can you tell since when this bug is in the kernel?
