What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: macb: Use dev_consume_skb_any() to free TX SKBs

The napi_consume_skb() function is not intended to be called in an IRQ

disabled context. However, after commit 6bc8a5098bf4 ("net: macb: Fix

tx_ptr_lock locking"), the freeing of TX SKBs is performed with IRQs

disabled. To resolve the following call trace, use dev_consume_skb_any()

for freeing TX SKBs:
