The next transmit overwrites\nlast_cb, so the earlier slots complete without crediting their bytes\nand BQL stalls the queue until the watchdog resets it.\n\nUnshare the skb before writing the control block.\n\nReproduce with pktgen in clone_skb mode, which hands the driver the same\nskb while earlier copies are still in the ring:\n\n  modprobe pktgen\n  pg=/proc/net/pktgen\n  echo \"add_device eth0\" > $pg/kpktgend_0\n  echo \"dst_mac AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF\" > $pg/eth0\n  echo \"dst 192.0.2.1\" > $pg/eth0\n  echo \"clone_skb 8\" > $pg/eth0\n  echo \"count 0\" > $pg/eth0\n  echo start > $pg/pgctrl &\n  sleep 5\n  echo stop > $pg/pgctrl\n  wait\n  cat /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/inflight\n\ninflight stays nonzero on the now idle queue. clone_skb 0 leaves it at\nzero.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40c04abcbc34e3afe338f41dae851ecbd72852ac","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7939ad3b4db9eadf45a64f0524f38337a9494672","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89771ce4f8f67dcffae561b2ccac95c0f6e3aa01"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-28T11:37:51.394563875+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
