Subject: 3.9.5+: Crash in tcp_input.c:4810.

From: Ben Greear <[email-masked]>

This is from a 3.9.5+ kernel with local patches.  We saw this crash during
a weekend run where we had TCP traffic trying to run on 128+ wifi station
interfaces as the interfaces assocaited over and over again (the AP
could handle no more than 127 stations and would dis-associate others
when the 128th tried to associate).

The code in question is this from the tcp_collapse() method:

		skb_reserve(nskb, header);
		memcpy(nskb->head, skb->head, header);
		memcpy(nskb->cb, skb->cb, sizeof(skb->cb));
		TCP_SKB_CB(nskb)->seq = TCP_SKB_CB(nskb)->end_seq = start;
		__skb_queue_before(list, skb, nskb);
		skb_set_owner_r(nskb, sk);

		/* Copy data, releasing collapsed skbs. */
		while (copy > 0) {
			int offset = start - TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq;
			int size = TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq - start;

			BUG_ON(offset < 0);
