In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igc: Reduce TSN TX packet buffer from 7KB to 5KB per queue The previous 7 KB per queue caused TX unit hangs under heavy timestamping load. Reducing to 5 KB avoids these hangs and matches the TSN recommendation in I225/I226 SW User Manual Section 7.5.4. The 8 KB "freed" by this change is currently unused. This reduction is not expected to impact throughput, as the i226 is PCIe-limited for small TSN packets rather than TX-buffer-limited. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's igc (Intel I225/I226) Ethernet driver. The TX packet buffer configuration of 7KB per queue for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) mode can cause TX unit hangs under heavy timestamping workloads. This occurs because the buffer size exceeds the hardware's recommended configuration, leading to network interface unavailability.
