CVE-2026-74698
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: fix BQL reset on SQ re-activation
mlx5e_queue_start() deactivates and re-activates all channels but closes only the queue being restarted. mlx5e_activate_txqsq() then unconditionally calls netdev_tx_reset_queue(), zeroing the BQL counters of channels that kept their in-flight TX WQEs. The next completion then over-charges and trips the BUG_ON() in dql_completed():
Reset BQL only when the SQ has no bytes in flight (sq->cc == sq->pc).
In the case that reset is skipped, the outstanding WQEs will eventually complete and rebalance the dql. The dql->limit is carried across the reset.
