Summary: with CONFIG_HIGHMEM set, net/ipv4/udp.c::udp_poll() fails when rx'ing an skb with fragments. Present in [at least] 2.6.11.*, 2.6.10 Details: User space code polling on a blocking socket fd receives an skb with fragments -- this is very unlikely in the common case but can happen with encapsulation etc; however its pretty much guaranteed to happen under Xen 2.x when communicating between dom0 and domU.
