Currently I can't, the forward_shared feature cruical for the network.
I try to figure out how can I get rid of forward_shared on the next
week, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

On the other hand, is enough evidence that the problem doesn't depend
on the forward_shared patch if the LVS box is stable in the current
configuration (br0 disabled, forward_shared enabled) for a week? Later
I can enable br0 again to make sure that the panic depends on the
bridge interface. Disabled RPS with enabled br0 is another interesting
experiment.
Experiments with enabled forward_shared would be much easier for me
than remove that feature.
