There is a race between arc_emac_tx() and arc_emac_tx_clean(). sk_buff got freed by arc_emac_tx_clean() while arc_emac_tx() submitting sk_buff.
In order to free sk_buff arc_emac_tx_clean() checks: if ((info & FOR_EMAC) || !txbd->data) break; ... dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb); If condition false, arc_emac_tx_clean() free sk_buff. In order to submit txbd, arc_emac_tx() do: priv->tx_buff[*txbd_curr].skb = skb; ... priv->txbd[*txbd_curr].data = cpu_to_le32(addr); ... ... <== arc_emac_tx_clean() check condition here ... <== (info & FOR_EMAC) is false ... <== !txbd->data is false ... *info = cpu_to_le32(FOR_EMAC | FIRST_OR_LAST_MASK | len); In order to reproduce the situation, run device: # iperf -s run on host: # iperf -t 600 -c <device-ip-addr> [ 28.396284] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 28.400912] kernel BUG at .../net/core/skbuff.c:1355!
