From: "Eric W. Biederman" <redacted> Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in ibmveth_start_xmit that can be called in hard irq and other contexts. In this code path the packet can have either been transmitted or dropped, dev_consume_skb_any was choosen because that preserves the existing semantics of the code, and a transmitted packet is more likely.
