kernel panic in skb_copy_bits

Hi,
When we do fail over test with iscsi + multipath by reset the switches
on OVM(2.6.39) we hit the panic:

Reviewed vmcore I found the skb->users is 1 at the moment, checked network neighbour
history I found skb_get() be replaced by skb_copy by commit 7e36763b2c:
commit 7e36763b2c204d59de4e88087f84a2c0c8421f25
Author: Frank Blaschka <frank.blaschka@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Mar 3 12:16:04 2008 -0800
[NET]: Fix race in generic address resolution.
neigh_update sends skb from neigh->arp_queue while neigh_timer_handler
has increased skbs refcount and calls solicit with the
skb. neigh_timer_handler should not increase skbs refcount but make a
copy of the skb and do solicit with the copy.

So can you please give some details of the race? per vmcore seems like the skb data
be freed, I suspected skb_get() lost at somewhere?
I reverted above commit the panic not occurred during our testing.
Any input will appreciate!
Best Regards,
Joe
