My apologies, I mistakenly read the following if statement in your patch:

 +       if (skb == skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)) {
 +               __skb_unlink(skb, &sk->sk_receive_queue);
 +               atomic_dec(&skb->users);
 +       }

I read the conditional as the following:

 +       if (skb = skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue)) {

... which would have caused the problems I was describing.  I'm sorry for all 
of the confusion/frustration, you patient explanations are correct; I was 
wrong in this particular case.
