I had this too:

But I'm not convinced it's conntrack, I'd think it's

commit 15e83ed78864d0625e87a85f09b297c0919a4797

     net: remove zap_completion_queue

which, from the looks of it, ought to be reverted because it failed to
take into account that dev_kfree_skb() can do more things that require
non-irq-context than just calling skb->destructor, like for instance the
conntrack thing we see here.
Agreed.  I'll revert this and queue that up for 2.6.35-stable


FWIW I only see this in linux-next, not released 2.6.35. But it does look like a likely root cause.
