Bug description:
  I have an Ubuntu 14.04 host that I am using as both a keepalived/ipvs
  loadbalancer and dnsmasq server for pxebooting servers.

  After updating linux-image 3.13.0-29.53 -> 3.13.0-32.57 I noticed that
  dnsmasq-tftp stopped working. pxeboot clients would hang on the
  "Loading ..../linux" TFTP transfer, with the transfer stalling roughly
  ~1000 blocks into the transfer:

  10:30:51.011728 IP 10.1.1.2.43540 > 10.1.12.1.49165: UDP, length 1412
  10:30:51.011924 IP 10.1.12.1.49165 > 10.1.1.2.43540: UDP, length 4
  10:30:51.012012 IP 10.1.1.2.43540 > 10.1.12.1.49165: UDP, length 1412
  10:30:51.012183 IP 10.1.12.1.49165 > 10.1.1.2.43540: UDP, length 4

  stracing dnsmasq I noticed something very odd: sendto() on the
  socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) would suddenly start
  persistently returning EPERM in mid-transfer, even when dnsmasq
  continued to periodically retry:

  select(18, [4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 17], [], [], {0, 250000}) = 1 (in [17], left {0, 249834})

  This was with all iptables rules unloaded (so no OUTPUT -j DENY) and
  apparmor profiles torn down.

  I also noticed the following dmesgs appearing at roughly similar times
  to the tftp transfers getting stuck (although not coinciding exactly
  with the stall):

  [70325.516724] IPv6 header not found

  The error pointed to ipvs (which I am using on the same host as an IPv4 NAT loadbalancer):
  http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-devel/2012-08/msg00018.html
  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.linux.lvs.devel/3614

  I then tore down the ipvs rules (service keepalived stop) and unloaded
  the modules (rmmod ip_vs_rr ip_vs), and the issue resolved itself -
  the stalled dnsmasq-tftp transfer resumed!

  This seems to be reproducible, i.e. modprobing ip_vs and starting
  keepalived will cause dnsmasq-tftp to stall again, and
  stopping/unloading will resume.

  This seems to happen reproducibly on boot with -32 and -30. This does NOT seem to happen with 3.13.0-29 which I was using up until now.
