I already tested 26.27-rc4 and even net-next-2.6 (recently released one
based on rc4 with some bug fixes). Problem is still here.

I did not already tested tip of Linus' git tree but can do it on Monday.

This might be completely unrelated but while looking at others commits
around previous one, I saw bd7b1533cd6a68c734062aa69394bec7e2b1718e
([PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns
ones). Does IPv6 need the same kind of trick ?

Cheers,
