Make sure you have the following fix in your tree.

It might be the cause.

commit 5d8c0aa9433b09387d9021358baef7939f9b32c4

    [INET]: Fix accidentally broken inet(6)_hash_connect's port offset calculations.
    
    The port offset calculations depend on the protocol family, but, as
    Adrian noticed, I broke this logic with the commit
    
    	5ee31fc1ecdcbc234c8c56dcacef87c8e09909d8
    	[INET]: Consolidate inet(6)_hash_connect.
    
    Return this logic back, by passing the port offset directly into the
    consolidated function.
