(Get the code!)
Looks like the issue is in the implementation of the netfilter hook kernel module, as its not recommended to use GFP_KERNEL, and cannot sleep in netfilter hooks, since the hookos are run in interrupt context (when the packet is received) by the net_rx_action softirq. Instead this issue is resolved using GFP_ATOMIC. I think this BUG can be closed.
