This handling will eventually cause an OOM. The fact that it didn't makes me suspect that you never actually hit this condition, because the network stack isn't delivering skbs larger than dev->mtu. Maybe net/core/pktgen.c doesn't take the MTU into consideration, I'm not completely sure there... > + if (ret) { > + /* Linearize and retry */ > if (skb_linearize(skb)) > goto out_drop; > > > -- > 2.34.1 >

The max size of a transfer no matter the MTU is 64KB-1 so immediately bail out if the skb exceeds that. The calling site tries to linearize the skbuff on error so return a special error code -E2BIG to indicate that this will not work in any way and bail out immediately if this happens.
