I confirm that I can't reproduce the issue using this patch.

Thanks, I'll send a polished patch, as this one had an error if build_skb() returns NULL (in case sk_buff allocation fails)

Please try the following patch : It should use 2K frags instead of 4K for normal 1500 mtu Thanks ! [PATCH] atl1c: use custom skb allocator We had reports ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 ) that using high order pages for skb allocations is problematic for atl1c We do not know exactly what the problem is, but we suspect that crossing 4K pages is not well supported by this hardware. Use a custom allocator, using page allocator and 2K fragments for optimal stack behavior. We might make this allocator generic in future kernels.
