Public bug reported:
The following very simple bash script results in an unkillable process topping
the CPU.
```
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
echo -n "."
if echo "hw-tc-offload: off [fixed]" 2>&1 | grep 'x-checksumming' ; then
echo "should never get here...."
fi
done
```
I can reproduce the issue by starting a few (8) concurrent executions and wait
a few minutes. The system used is:
```
> cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 21.10"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="21.10"
VERSION="21.10 (Impish Indri)"
VERSION_CODENAME=impish
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/";
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy";
UBUNTU_CODENAME=impish
```
With kernel:
```
> uname -a
Linux ubuntu 5.13.0-1011-raspi #13-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 19 18:40:23 UTC
2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
```
The issue reported over at [1] and it seems to not be present on debian
[2].
At the time the issue is triggered top shows the script using one of the CPUs:
```

This is causing MicroK8s to fail after a few days. Thank you for your
help.
