Madalin reported crashes happening in tcp_tasklet_func() on powerpc64 Before TSQ_QUEUED bit is cleared, we must ensure the changes done by list_del(&tp->tsq_node); are committed to memory, otherwise corruption might happen, as an other cpu could catch TSQ_QUEUED clearance too soon. We can notice that old kernels were immune to this bug, because TSQ_QUEUED was cleared after a bh_lock_sock(sk)/bh_unlock_sock(sk) section, but they could have missed a kick to write additional bytes, when NIC interrupts for a given flow are spread to multiple cpus. Affected TCP flows would need an incoming ACK or RTO timer to add more packets to the pipe. So overall situation should be better now.
