skb->nfct check in br_nf_dev_queue_xmit() does not work if conntracks are not loaded on the node. This check does not allow to fragment skb combined from incoming fragments, as results this skb will be dropped silently in br_dev_queue_push_xmit() This check was added in commit c197facc8ea08062f8f949aade6a33649ee06771 netfilter: bridge: allow fragmentation of VLAN packets traversing a bridge I believe this check is superfluous and should be removed.
