I got more success with trinity ;)

Nope there are several issues :
1) bug in netlink_alloc_large_skb() because it doesn't account for sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) overhead and initialization.
2) Also, skb_clone() on such skb should be forbidden.
Example, nl_fib_input() does a nskb = skb_clone(skb)
If skb is freed before nskb, then nskb wont know skb->head must be freed by vfree()
I don't know...
3) Do we really need this vmalloc stuff, because it sounds like we are going to add yet another test in fast path (in skb_free_head())
4) Or we must track all skb_clone() netlink calls to attach a destructor to properly to the vfree()
