Commitd9028db618("idpf: convert to libeth Tx buffer completion") inadvertently removed code that was necessary for the tx buffer cleaning routine to iterate over all buffers associated with a packet. When a frag is too large for a single data descriptor, it will be split across multiple data descriptors. This means the frag will span multiple buffers in the buffer ring in order to keep the descriptor and buffer ring indexes aligned. The buffer entries in the ring are technically empty and no cleaning actions need to be performed. These empty buffers can precede other frags associated with the same packet. I.e. a single packet on the buffer ring can look like: buf[0]=skb0.frag0 buf[1]=skb0.frag1 buf[2]=empty buf[3]=skb0.frag2 The cleaning routine iterates through these buffers based on a matching completion tag. If the completion tag is not set for buf2, the loop will end prematurely. Frag2 will be left uncleaned and next_to_clean will be left pointing to the end of packet, which will break the cleaning logic for subsequent cleans. This consequently leads to tx timeouts. Assign the empty bufs the same completion tag for the packet to ensure the cleaning routine iterates over all of the buffers associated with the packet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
