The normal TX\npath handles this, but the SW USO path can miss it if it returns\nearly.\n\nIf bnxt_sw_udp_gso_xmit runs but returns early with NETDEV_TX_BUSY and\ntxr->kick_pending was previously set to 1, then the TX queue can\nstall because the driver wrote some BDs but never wrote the doorbell.\nThe device won't know to do the TX which would generate the completion\nthat would wake the queue back up.\n\nSimplify bnxt_sw_udp_gso_xmit to set txr->kick_pending in its success\ncase and check the flag on return. The added check after\nbnxt_sw_udp_gso_xmit returns ensures that any pending doorbells are\nwritten handling both successful USO and any early returns, which\nprevents the TX queue stall mentioned above.\n\nThis TX queue stall was observed on a production system with a netdev TX\nwatchdog informing about the queue stall.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-11T19:42:52.861+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T08:46:22.468+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c\",\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_gso.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"cc5d90667db81474ed7a92a1b2fa3daec5559307\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"48d1c9665db6e3d4aeca62eb669377162ebc6fdf\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"cc5d90667db81474ed7a92a1b2fa3daec5559307\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"4e15e89faac9f308baeb01f46c13a051814d2449\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c\",\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_gso.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.4\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48d1c9665db6e3d4aeca62eb669377162ebc6fdf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e15e89faac9f308baeb01f46c13a051814d2449"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-80998","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-80998","identifiers":["CVE-2026-80998"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
