__netlink_lookup_frame() was always called with the same "pos" value in netlink_forward_ring(). It will look at the same ring entry header over and over again, every time through this loop. Then cycle through the whole ring, advancing ring->head, not "pos" until it equals the "ring->head != head" loop test fails.
