Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] igb: prepare TSO and checksum offloads before TX timestamps
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 09:16:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026091549.605810-3-p@1g4.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026091549.605810-1-p@1g4.org>
igb_xmit_frame_ring() takes an extra skb reference for TX timestamping
before transmit preparation. For GSO packets, igb_tso() calls
skb_cow_head(), which can reach pskb_expand_head() with a shared skb
when the header is cloned. Commit c7d8bc3dd511 ("net: skbuff: don't BUG()
on bad arguments to pskb_expand_head()") replaced the BUG_ON() with
-EINVAL, causing TSO preparation to fail and the packet to be dropped.
For non-GSO packets with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, igb_tx_csum() falls back to
skb_checksum_help() for unsupported checksum offsets. This can also
reach pskb_expand_head() through skb_ensure_writable(). igb_tx_csum()
ignores the error, allowing transmission to continue without completing
the checksum.
Move TSO and checksum preparation before taking the timestamp reference.
Add the timestamp bit to first->tx_flags without overwriting the offload
flags.
Fixes: 1f6e8178d685 ("igb: Prevent dropped Tx timestamps via work items and interrupts.")
Fixes: 6e033700887b ("igb: Add support for generic Tx checksums")
